Use the Certificates folder on machines with full EAServer installations, or use the standalone Security Manager on client machines, to manage SSL certificates, the test CA, and public and private key pairs.
From the Certificates folder, you can manage the server and user certificates that are required for SSL-protocol support, which allows you to:
Install server certificates – required to establish secure IIOP and HTTP ports.
Install Certificate Administrator (CA) certificates – also called signing certificates, are attached to client and server certificates to validate the origin of the certificate.
Issue certificates for testing purposes – you can create new client and server certificates to test your applications.
For detailed information on EAServer administrative privileges and the Certificates folder, see the EAServer Security Administration and Programming Guide.
