Security Manager

Use Security Manager to manage SSL certificates, the test CA, and public and private key pairs for EAServer.

Security Manager allows you to manage the server and user certificates that are required for SSL-protocol support. Security Manager allows you to:

Install server certificates - required to establish secure IIOP and HTTP ports.
Install Certificate Administrator (CA) certificates - also called signing certificates, are attached to client and server certificates to validate the origin of the certificate.
Issue certificates for testing purposes - Security Manager allows you to create new client and server certificates for use in testing your applications.
