Introduction

Certificate Management includes to secure connections between JOC Cockpit, Controller and Agents by use of private keys and certificates for HTTPS (SSL).

• Users can use the JS7 - Certificate Authority that is included with JOC Cockpit to create and to roll-out private keys and certificates.
  • This includes simplified roll-out to Controller instances and Agents to establish secure HTTPS connections.
  • The build-in certificate authority is applicable when operating JS7 in a low or medium security level, see JS7 - Security Architecture.
• Users can use an external certificate authority - or respective service provider - to create private keys and certificates.
  • Users have to manage the rollout of private keys and certificates to Controller and Agent instances in a secure way.
  • An external certificate authority can be used for any of the low, medium and high JS7 security levels.
