About the Certificate Management Page
To access this page, select Secure Edge > Service Administration > Certificate Management.
You must manage the device certificates to establish Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Socket Layer (SSL) sessions. TLS or SSL uses public-private key technology that requires a paired private key and an authentication certificate. SSL encrypts communication between the web browser and web server with a session key negotiated by the SSL server certificate. Device certificates are required for both on-premises users and roaming users. The certificate generation is a one-time activity and you must do it before deploying the security policies.
Use this page to manage TLS/SSL certificate that is used to establish secure communications between Secure Edge and user endpoints. The certificates may be signed by your own Certificate Authority (CA) or by Juniper's CA. You may create a new certificate signing requests (CSR) that can be used to generate a new certificate by your own CA or you can have Juniper Networks create a new certificate.
