5.3. Installing SSL Certificate

A self signed SSL certificate is automatically created on product installation. A different SSL certificate may be selected by clicking on the Browse button. SSL Certificates are required if FTPS or HTTPS protocols are used for file transfer. (Note: Enabling FIPS Mode will restrict the cryptographic algorithms used to those approved by the FIPS 140-2 validation process.)
