Adding an SSL or CA certificate

Edit online

This topic provides instructions for adding a secure socket layer (SSL) certificate, or a certificate authority (CA) certificate, also known as a proxy certificate.

About this task

Importing a customer provided certificate allows the System console management GUI (on the TSSC hardware) and customer proxy to communicate.

Use the Certificates page to add or delete certificates.

Note: Only the customer user, and users with administration role, have access to modify Security Settings, Certificates, and Roles Management.
Note: If Https is used, the TLS version must be the same at both the TS7785 and the Cloud Server in order to avoid problems with the SSL Certificate Retrieve.
