During the setup process, you prepare the appliance to act as a proxy for each Web server being accelerated. This means that you need an SSL certificate chain for each Web server (both secure and non-secure) being accelerated by Secure Excelerator.
Normally, you request the certificates from third-party certificate authorities (such as VeriSign) using the appliance's certificate maintenance feature. After obtaining the certificates, you install them on the Excelerator appliance.
Because obtaining certificates usually requires up to two weeks, you should take this process into account in the installation timeline.
NOTE: You also have the options of auto-generating certificates or of manually generating certificates using the Excelerator appliance's CA. However, requesting browsers won't automatically recognize these certificates. You must set up each browser manually to avoid browser warnings regarding unknown certificate authorities.
You will use these certificates in Storing the Certificate .
