6.3 Certificates

Certificates are used to authenticate users. Certificates are issued to you by various CAs (Certification

Authorities). These Certificates are called "Self Certificates".

Each CA also issues a certificate to itself. This Certificate is required in order to validate communication with

the CA. These certificates are called "Trusted Certificates."

The Certificates screen lists either the Trusted Certificates - the certificates of each CA itself - or Self

Certificates

- the certificates issued to you.

Use the radio button in the Type section of the screen to choose which type of Certificate you wish to view.
