Using trusted certificates on Security Center servers (Advanced) - To strengthen the security of your system, you should replace the self-signed certificate on your Security Center servers with one issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA). - Security Center 5.12

To strengthen the security of your system, you should replace the self-signed certificate on your Security Center servers with one issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA).

1. Open Genetec™ Server Admin.
2. From the Servers list, select your server.
3. In the Secure communication section, click Select certificate.
4. Choose a certificate and click Select.
   
5. Click Save.
   IMPORTANT: If the client machine does not trust the selected certificate, a dialog box appears when users attempt to log on. This informs them of the untrusted connection and provides the following options:

   • Proceed and do not ask again (not recommended)
   • Cancel logon

   

   There is also a link to View certificate details to help understand why the certificate is not trusted.

   We recommend using a certificate that all client machines trust. If the Invalid certificate warning is unexpected, ensure that you understand why the certificate is not trusted before proceeding.
