Certificates
Note: Please refer to the Security Primer to prepare the Authentication Server and Access Point
for communication.
Note: It is important that all dates are correct on the Thor VM3 and host computers when using
any type of certificate. Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct
authentication will fail.
If using the Windows Certificate Store, the Windows Account must have a
password. The password cannot be left blank. The WCU uses the Windows
user account credentials to access the Certificate Store. The Windows user
account credentials need not be the same as those entered in the WCU.
