Managing Certificates on the ACC Server
FOR WINDOWS SERVERS ONLY
By default, the ACC server uses a self-signed certificate for verifying client communications. Avigilon
recommends using a trusted CA-signed certificate or other intermediate certificate, such as a Windows CA
or custom CA certificate. You must be a Windows Administrator to make these changes.
If you are using a CA-signed certificate, you will need to disable trust of the default Avigilon certificates after
setting up your CA-signed certificates to ensure the default certificate can no longer be used.
Important:
When logging into the server from a client after setting up your certificate, you will need
to use the full hostname, including the domain.
Generating the Certificate
1. On the Windows machine running the ACC server, open the Certificate Manager. Select
Run
in the
Start
menu and enter
certlm.msc

2. Navigate to the
Personal > Certificates
folder.
