4. Click OK to enter the new encrypted certificate information and save it to the Master or click

Cancel to void any changes made within this tab and exit without making changes to the target

Master.

A certificate consists of two different Keys:

 Master Key is generated by the Master and is incorporated into the text string sent to the

CA during a certificate request. It is specific to a particular request made on a specific

Master.

 Public Key is part of the text string that is returned from the CA as part of an approved

SSL Server Certificate. This public key is based off the submitted Master key from the

original request.

 Regenerating a previously requested and installed certificate, invalidates the

previously purchased certificate because the Master Key has been changed.

5. Use the Display Certificate option to confirm that the new certificate was imported properly to

the target Master.

Once a certificate has been purchased from an external CA and then installed onto a

specific Master, DO NOT regenerate the certificate or alter its properties

(example: bit length, city, etc.).If the purchased certificate is regenerated, it becomes

invalid.

By default, the Display Certificate Action is selected and these fields are populated

with information from an installed certificate. If the Master does not have a previously

installed certificate, these fields are blank.
