The default name of the Dynamic File Services self-signed SSL certificate is servername‑DynamicFileServicesSSLCertificate. A self-signed certificate is valid for five years from the date it is created.
The first time that you connect to a target DynamicFS server from the Management Console, you are prompted to accept the certificate for the target server. If the server is in a Windows cluster, you are prompted the first time that a connection is made to each node in the cluster.
The accepted certificate is added to your personal local computer certificates on the management computer.
Each user that manages pairs and policies on the target server is prompted to accept the certificate when connecting for the first time to the server.
By default, the SSL certificate is imported to the current user’s local computer store.
