Obtaining an SSL Certificate Signed by a Valid Certifying Authority

Self-signed certificates are useful in environments where ‘security’ is not a priority. In highly secure environments, especially where the eG manager is to be frequently accessed via the public internet, using a self-signed certificate may not be preferred. In such a case, you can obtain a valid certificate from a certificate authority and use that certificate to enable SSL support for the eG manager's JMX.

The procedure for generating this certificate is different for Unix and Windows managers. Click on the appropriate link below to know how to achieve this.
