Add a Custom CA Certificate
A CA certificate is a digital certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA). The CA certificate allows valid and secure connections between Belden Horizon Data Operations and other systems.
To create a valid and secure connection between Belden Horizon Data Operations and Belden Horizon Data Manager, a custom CA certificate needs to be generated. To complete this specific task, see Activate an Edge Device for details.
