1.3 Self-Signed Certificates

iManager includes a temporary, self-signed certificate that you use when installing iManager on any platform except NetWare. It has an expiration date of one year.

This is not intended to be a long-term implementation. It is a temporary solution to get your system up and running so you can use iManager securely immediately after installation. You must obtain a valid certificate from a Certificate Authority and replace the temporary one as soon as possible. OpenSSL does not recommend using self-signed certificates except for testing purposes.
