Add a Custom CA Certificate
A CA certificate is a digital certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA). The CA certificate allows valid and secure connections between Manufacturing Connect Edge and other systems.
To create a valid and secure connection between Manufacturing Connect Edge and Manufacturing Connect, a custom CA certificate needs to be generated. To complete this specific task, see Activate an Edge Device for details.
To upload a custom CA certificate not related to validating communication between Manufacturing Connect Edge and Manufacturing Connect, follow the steps below.
Important: When uploading a custom CA certificate, make sure the file is in CRT format and that X509 encoding is used.
