About this task

Host certificates are the certificates provided by the customer IT team that allow for communication between the host and client.

The keys that are used in the certificate management process are private keys and public keys. A private key is sent back to the host from the client, which is encrypted using the public key. In this way, the host is the only device that can read the private key, because it is the only device capable of unencrypting a message encrypted with the public key.

Procedure

  1. Insert the USB into the Global Operator Console (GOC).
