HTML5 Sign Certificate (provisioningNiagara-SignCertificateStep)

In Niagara 4.14 and later, there is added browser support for the Sign Certificate step. Running this step signs a certificate (typically a server certificate) for each remote platform in the job. The “HTML5” version of this view is a web-browser-based implementation and it provides the same functions as the Workbench view.

You will enter the alias of the certificate on the remote platform, and select the CA certificate alias for the signing certificate on the Supervisor platform.

The “Signing a certificate” section of the Niagara Station Security Guide contains more information about signing a server certificate.
