Manage Certificates
Certificates are a security technology that assists networked computers in
determining whether to trust each other. Each digital certificate is identified by
its public key. The collection of all public keys used in an enterprise to
determine trust is known as a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
To manage digital certificates, an enterprise must:
• Establish a Public Key Infrastructure using one or more Certificate
Authorities (CA). Typically, an enterprise’s IT department has a CA but
commercial CAs may be used as well.
• Configure each computer that participates in the PKI with a digital
certificate that identifies it. The certificate must be signed by one of the
CAs in the PKI
• Configure each computer that participates in the PKI to trust the PKI's
Certificate Authorities
• Ensure that the PKI is used to protect data exchange by configuring each
system to use encryption protocols such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
and/or Transport Level Security (TLS).
Certificates Accepted by the RealPresence Resource Manager System
By default, to support encrypted communications and establish a minimum
level of trust, the RealPresence Resource Manager system presents a
self-signed digital certificate to its clients. This default certificate will typically
not be trusted by clients. Web browsers that connect to the RealPresence
Resource Manager system user interface will display a warning regarding the
certificate.
