Generate Key File From Keystore
HTTPS requires an SSL Certificate. When you generate an SSL Certificate,you are creating a keystore file and a keystore password for use when the browser interface connectsto the Master Server.
You can choose whether to have a Certifying Authority sign the certificateor you can use a self-signed certificate. A certificate signed by a CertifyingAuthority is trusted by browsers, therefore the browser does not issue a warningwhen a user connects to the browser interface on the Master Server. Generally, CertifyingAuthorities charge a fee to sign a certificate. A self-signed certificateis available for use immediately after you generate the certificate becauseyou do not have to wait for the Certifying Authority to sign it. However,a self-signed certificate is not trusted by the browser, so the browser issuesa warning each time a user connects to the Master Server.
