In New Key Pair Entry Password, enter a password, and click OK. The alias is pre-set to the CN set in the Name dialog. In New Key Pair Entry Alias, enter an alias for the key pair. In Generate Key Pair Certificate, click OK. Click OK until you return to the Generate Key Pair Certificate dialog. In the Subject Alternative Name Extension dialog, click the + icon, select DNS Name, and in General Name Value type the domain name of your server. Click Add Extensions, click the + icon, and select Subject Alternative Name. Specify the domain name of your server as an alternative name. For the Common Name (CN) use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of your server. From Generate Key Pair Certificate, click the Edit name icon. 
Generating Key Pair dialog appears, then disappears after a key is generated.
In Generate Key Pair, choose the following algorithm selection options:. When your server sends a browser its public key, the browser can encrypt messages that only your server can read, because only your server has the matching private key. Public Key: Allows a sender (client or server) to encrypt a message for a specific recipient (server or client). Typical file extensions are *.pem, *.key, *.csr, and *.cert. To identify a PEM file, open it with a console or text editor. PEM files are common on Linux systems and Apache. PEM: An ASCII text file that holds keys, certificates, or both. Typical file names are *.pkcs, *.p12, *.p7b, *.pfx Keystore explorer remote machine windows#
PKCS: A binary file format typically associated with Windows systems. Java Keystore: A binary file format for use by Java applications (like the Code42 server). Keystore: A file that holds a combination of keys and certificates. Key Pair: A public encryption key and a private encryption key, in a matched set. Key: A unique string of characters that provides essential input to a mathematical process for encrypting data. Self-Signed Certificate: A file that contains a public key and identifies who owns that key and its corresponding private key. When the browser encrypts data with your public key, the browser is assured that only your server can read it. When your server sends a chain of certificates and one of them matches one of a browser's trusted root certificates, then the browser trusts your server. Operating systems and web browsers typically have a built-in set of trusted root certificates. Root Certificate: A certificate trusted to end a certificate chain. The top of the chain is a self-signed but widely trusted root certificate. A second signed certificate affirms the trustworthiness of the first signer, a third affirms the second, and so on. Certificate Chain: One signed certificate affirms that the attached public key belongs to its owner. Someone receiving a signed certificate can verify that the signature does belong to the CA, and determine whether anyone tampered with the certificate after the CA signed it. CA-Signed Certificate: A certificate authority (CA) electronically signs a certificate to affirm that a public key belongs to the owner named in the certificate. Certificate: An electronic document used to prove the ownership of a public key. Configuring Code42 servers to use an HTTPS Strict Transport Security (HSTS) response header further prevents unencrypted browser access to Code42 consoles. Configuring Code42 servers and apps to use strict TLS validation further ensures the security of client-server connections. Never reconfigure a production server to use HTTP, rather than TLS and HTTPS. It prevents attackers from acquiring client data through counterfeit servers and encryption keys. Adding a CA-signed certificate provides further security by confirming your server's identity to clients. That provides for encrypting client-server traffic. By default, your authority server uses a self-signed certificate and TLS. A Code42 server that is configured to use a signed certificate, strict TLS validation, and strict security headers protects server communications with browsers, your Code42 apps, and other servers. Your on-premises Code42 authority server is no exception. Reliable security of any production web server requires an SSL certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA) and enforced use of the TLS protocol (that is, HTTP S, not HTTP). Server security requires a CA-signed certificate and the TLS protocol
