Install the self-signed virtual machine certificate

When the connection to the VMS is unencrypted, the wizard creates a self-signed virtual machine that encrypts the connection between the Processing Server services and XProtect Management Client.

To install the certificate:

1. Copy the public-authority-[Ubuntu Server IP].cer file from your computer to the computers that will use XProtect Management Client to manage the Processing Server.

2. Right-click the server 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 specify a folder.

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

7. Select OK and Next.

8. When in the Certificate Import Wizard window, select Finish.

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

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

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