Default CA certificates
The following certificates are installed by default:
SOAP API Certificate Authority: Before allowing a SOAP client to connect the AP
checks the certificate supplied by a SOAP client to ensure that it is issued by a trusted
certificate authority (CA).
Management Console Dummy Authority: Used when the management tool
communicates with HP PCM/PMM software.
Certificate and private key store
Caution For security reasons, you should replace the default certificate with your own.
This list displays all certificates installed on the AP. The AP uses these certificates and private
keys to authenticate itself to peers.
The following information is displayed for each certificate in the list:
