Self-signed Certificate for Integrated File Agent

When Integrated File Agent is installed, an automatically generated self-signed certificate is added in Secure+'s .Client and .Local record if a key certificate has not already been assigned .

Self-signed certificate allows Integrated File Agent to connect securely to Connect:Direct. It also allows Connect:Direct to run a loopback (PNODE equals SNODE) process securely, which helps new customers to get started Secure+.

However, self-signed certificate is not suitable for securing production Connect:Direct to Connect:Direct and remote-API-client to Connect:Direct connections. If you want to secure these connections, you must replace the key certificate in the .Local node record with a certificate suitable for production, such as a CA certificate issued by an internal or public CA.
