Server Certificates

A server certificate is required for encrypted communication via TLS (Transport Layer Security).

Server Certificates
A server certificate serves to uniquely identify a server. The certificate must have been issued to the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the server. The server certificate must have been issued by a trusted authority. Certificates are configured from the Microsoft Management Console (MMC)'s Certificate Snap-in.

Certificate Storage
The used certificates must be stored in the memory "Local computer / Own certificates" and must contain a private key. You open the certificate store "Local computer"' with the MMC console.
