Certificates/Authentications (SSL Certificate) screen

This screen displays the detailed information of the Secure Socket Layer certificate currently in use by VCM.

An SSL certificate is used to certify the identity of the VCM and is required by the underlying HTTP server to
establish a secure (encrypted) communications channel with the client web browser.
On initial startup, VCM generates a default self-signed SSL certificate valid for 10 years, and the certificate
is issued to the DNS name of the VC-Enet module (the dynamic DNS name from the Default Networks Setting
label). Because this default certificate is self-signed, the "issued by" field is also set to the same DNS name.
