Viewing and Creating Security Certificates
All security certificates used on the gateway can be centrally managed. Certificates are used by several functions on the gateway:
- HTTPS server access
- VPN IPsec tunnels
- WIFI Enterprise connection
Each function will validate the certificate that it is used for.
