Secure the connection between XProtect Management Client and Milestone AI Bridge

You must always secure the connections between the computers with XProtect Management Client and Milestone AI Bridge by installing a certificate on the computers with XProtect Management Client. You only need to install the certificate on computers where XProtect Management Client is used to manage the Milestone AI Bridge integration.

Which certificate you must install, depends on whether you have secured your XProtect VMS with certificates or not.

1. Copy the certificate file to the computer with XProtect Management Client.

   • XProtect VMS secured using certificates: Copy the Public Certificate Authority (CA) certificate (.cer) you use with your XProtect VMS.

   • XProtect VMS not secured using certificates: Copy the self-signed server certification public-authority-[Ubuntu Server IP].cer file you received from your IVA app integrator.

2. Right-click the certificate and select Install Certificate.

3. In the Certificate Import wizard, select Local Machine as the certificate store.

4. Select Next to continue.

5. Select Place all certificates in the following store and then select a folder.

6. Select Browse, and then Trusted Root Certification Authorities.

7. Select OK and Next.

8. In the Certificate Import Wizard window, select Finish.

   • If you receive a security warning about installing a root certificate, select Yes to continue.

   • If the import has succeeded, a confirmation window is displayed.

9. Verify that the certificate is listed in the center view of the Trusted Root Certification Authorities subtree.
