the checkbox. The user then enters submit at the bottom of the page and the current self-signed
certificate is overwritten.
If the file transfer method is chosen FTP, SCP, SFTP may be used to copy the certificate text
file to the root directory using any file name. The user then selects the “Update Certificate with
file named” check box and enters the file name in the space. The user then enters submit at the
bottom of the page and the current self-signed certificate is overwritten with the specified file
name.
