Certificates Managed using Device Administrator
Certificates are used to increase the security of the communication between Device Administrator and field server.
Certificates are used to establish a trust chain between Device Administrator and the automation servers. A trusted chain communication with HTTPS consists of two parts:
An SSL root certificate installed in Windows on the computer that runs Device Administrator
An SSL certificate on the automation server
Both Device Administrator and automation servers supports self-signed certificates as well as CA certificates. Device Administrator allows you to create your own self-signed certificate.
Certificates can be imported and exported. For example, you have established a trust chain between computer 1, running Device Administrator, and a list of field servers. You want to access the samefield servers using computer 2. In this case, you install Device Administrator on computer 2, export the SSL root certificate from computer 1, and import it to computer 2.

Certificates can be deleted from the EBO server using Device Administrator.

The certificates are included in the field server’s backup. You do not need to generate a new certificate if you restore a field server from a backup generated after the certificate was transferred to the field server if you retain the original root certificate.

Certificates generated and installed using Device Administrator must be used when activating licenses.
Certificates generated using Workstation cannot be used for licensing in field servers since these certificates do not provide a root certificate or other trust chain for validation. If you use WorkStation certificates, we recommend that you generate new ones for your field servers from Device Administrator when you use licensing in field servers.
