library is used.
v Uploaded Certificate - Upload a PCKS #12 file that includes a certificate and corresponding key.
v Generate Certificate Request (CSR) - A CSR is generated by the library that must be signed by a
CA server. This method requires a CA certificate that must be provided during the wizard steps.
