Generating a System Certificate (Self-signed Certificate)
After creating a Self-Signed CA Certificate, you can either,
•
generate a System Certificate for your clients. These System Certificates can then be given to the
respective clients.
or
•
the Clients can prepare their own System Certificates. For this you need to send them the CA Certificate
created by you.
or
generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), if you want the Certificate to be signed by a third party.
If the clients prepare their own certificates, you need to send your CA Certificate to all the clients. The
clients must upload the same in their system. Similarly, all the clients must send their CA Certificates to you
and you must upload the same in your system. To avoid this, it is recommended that you create the
Certificates and then provide it to your clients
.
