Use case 2: Server certificates for Edge Gateway services
In the role as a server, the Edge Gateway provides server certificates which
contain the public key. An external client can encrypt the communication to
the Edge Gateway with the public key and verify the authenticity of the
Edge Gateway.
In the Edge Gateway, you can manage the private key and the related
server certificate for a service. Each service of the Edge Gateway uses a
separate
pair
consisting of private key and certificate. This certificate
contains the public key, a signature and furthermore information.
From the point of view of the Edge Gateway, server certificates apply to
inbound HTTPS and OPC UA connections.
