Using CA-issued Key Pairs and Digital Certificates

Key pairs and digital certificates can be obtained from a certification authority (CA) for use with the machine. After obtaining them from a CA, you can install and register key pairs and CA certificate files on the machine by using the Remote UI. Make sure that the key pair and the certificate satisfy the requirements of the machine (Key and Certificate Operating Requirements). Up to 5 key pairs (including the preinstalled ones) can be registered, and up to 67 CA certificates (including the 62 preinstalled ones) can be registered.
