If VCM is configured with a VC domain IP address, then future certificate requests generated will reflect this
domain IP address. For information on generating a new certificate, see "SSL Certificate Administration
(Certificate Signing Request) screen (on page
)." For information on uploading certificates for use in the
VC-Enet module, see "SSL Certificate Administration (Certificate Upload) screen (on page
)."
NOTE:
When using a domain IP address, Certificate Administration allows a common certificate
to be utilized between a primary module and a subsequent primary module in the adjacent
horizontal bay after a failover.
The following table describes the fields on the SSL Certificate Administration (Certificate Info) screen.

The subject, or "Common Name," to which this SSL Certificate is issued. By
default, this is the dynamic DNS name of the VC-Enet module.

and it is signed by a CA, then the name of the CA is displayed.
