Install Certificates
After you have downloaded a CSR and it has been signed by a CA, the resulting certificate is ready to install
on the RealPresence Group system. The following section outlines how to do this, and the procedure is the
same for installing the client certificate, the server certificate, and any required CA-type certificates.
To add a signed certificate on the Certificates page:
1 To open the certificate section, at Installed Certificates, click View and Add.
2 Next to Add Certificate, click Browse to search for and select a certificate. You might be installing a
client or server certificate that has been signed by a CA after having been previously generated as a
CSR, or installing a CA certificate needed by the RealPresence Group system to validate a
certificate it receives from another system.
3 Click Open.
The system checks the certificate data and adds it to the list. If you don't see the certificate in the list,
the system was unable to recognize the certificate. This process is sometimes referred to as installing
a certificate.
You can select a certificate in the list to view its contents. You can also remove a certificate from the
list by clicking Remove.
4 If needed, click Close to close the certificate section of the page.
5 Click Save.
When you add a CA certificate to the RealPresence Group system, the certificate becomes trusted for the
purpose of validating peer certificates.
