Certificates

Telex RDC Server generates its own self-signed certificate upon initial launch. All data transmitted between the Telex RDC Server and the System Administration as well as the Telex RDC app is encrypted. However, browsers will display a warning because a self-signed certificate is being used. It is possible to install a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority in which case no browser warning will be displayed.

Install Self-Signed Certificate: Generates and installs a self-signed certificate onto the Telex RDC server.

Generate CSR with Default Values: Prompts the user for the Domain Name(s) with which to generate a CSR to send to a Certificate Authority.

Generate Custom CSR: Prompts the user for Domain name(s), Organization Name, County Name, and State/Province. These values are used to generate a CSR to send to a Certificate Authority.

Install Signed Certificate: Installs a certificate generated by a certificate authority.
