Security certificates
The browser used by ePO expects the server certificate setting to be a trusted certificate created
from suitable sources. If the server certificate configured is not a trusted source or a custom
created certificate, a warning message appears everytime ePO is launched. To stop this warning
mesage from appearing you must:
• Configure a trusted server certificate from a Certification Authority (CA).
• Create and configure a custom server certificate.
• Disable the server certificate setting.
The ePO browser expects the files linked to use the following format:
• Server certificate — PKCS7 or PEM
• Private key — PEM
NOTE: If the server certificate and private key are not saved as one of these formats, they must
be converted to the required format before they can be configured using Edit Server Certificate.
Global Threat Condition: Elevated
