Certificates and credentials

Certificates and credentials are important security elements for every station. Provisioning their deployment across a NiagaraNetwork saves substantial configuration time.

All the certificate steps are intended to run as part of a provisioning workflow that establishes valid server certificates on the stations connected to a Supervisor. The typical sequence to run these steps is as follows:

• Generate Certificate

• Create Certificate Signing Request

• Sign Certificate

• Import Signed Certificate

• Set Certificate Alias

The Niagara Station Security Guide covers all these topics in more detail.
