SSL Certificate Manager Administration

SSL certificates (otherwise known as X.509 certificates) are digital identification documents that allow SSL-enabled servers (e.g. FTPS, HTTPS, etc.) and clients to authenticate each other. A certificate can be thought of as the digital equivalent of a passport.

A certificate will contain information about the entity (organization) which the certificate represents, including the following details:

The name of the entity which signed/issued the certificate, otherwise known as the Issuer.

The expiration date of the certificate.

The

Public key

of the entity which the certificate represents.

The

digital signature

of the Issuer. This signature is created using the Issuer’s

Private key

and ensures the validity of the certificate.
