This screen displays the detailed information of the SSL certificate currently in use by the Onboard
Administrator. An SSL certificate is used to certify the identity of Onboard Administrator and is required by
the underlying HTTP server to establish a secure (encrypted) communications channel with the client web
browser.
On initial start up, Onboard Administrator generates a default self-signed SSL certificate valid for 10 years,
and the certificate is issued to the name of the Onboard Administrator. Because this default certificate is
self-signed, the "issued by" field is also set to the same name.
