 A Web Server certificate allows you to authenticate through a Web browser via SSL.
In order to successfully verify other certificates it is also necessary to import the CA key
into the Web Server. Refer to the Server - Creating a Request for an SSL
Certificate section on page 101.
 This is done as part of the process of receiving your Web Server certificate.

with this server certificate. For example, if the URL of the Master is
https://www.myNetLinxMaster.com/, then enter the server name as
www.myNetLinx Master.com.

information within the Server Certificate page. Refer to the Server - Creating a Request for an
SSL Certificate section on page 101 for the procedures necessary to generate the certificate text
file.
