A certificate signing request (CSR) is used to obtain a signed certificate for the server. After the request is created, the certificate signing request must be submitted to a CA to be signed. After the request is signed, the resulting signed certificate can be installed.
For Viewpoint 16.20.00.03 and later, a self-signed certificate is visible after you click HTTPs Config.
  1. From the Setup list, select HTTPS Config.
  2. Under Certificate Signing Request, do the following under Step 1:
    1. Select Create File.
    2. Enter the following information:

    3. Click Create.

    2. In the Certificate box, select Choose File and browse to the saved PEM, DER, or PKCS#7 formatted file.
