Certificates
Certificates are used to authenticate users. Certificates are issued to you by various CAs (Certi-
fication Authorities). These Certificates are called "Self Certificates".
Each CA also issues a certificate to itself. This Certificate is required in order to validate
communication with the CA. These certificates are called "Trusted Certificates."
The
Certificates
screen lists either the
Trusted Certificates
- the certificates of each CA itself -
or
Self Certificates
- the certificates issued to you.
Use the radio button in the
Type
section of the screen to choose which type of Certificate you
wish to view.
