Create a folder structure

If you are using a version of NiagaraAX earlier than version 3.8, use Windows to set up a folder structure on your computer’s hard disk to hold your Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) and signed certificates (.pem files). You can use the same structure illustrated in Figure 2 or name your own structure.

If you are using NiagaraAX 3.8, the first time you access the Certificate Management view, NiagaraAX creates an empty certManagement folder in the niagara folder. Within this folder, use Windows to create a structure similar to the following:

Figure 2. Example of a folder structure for certificates

Do not confuse the certManagement folder with the certificates folder that stores one or more certificates used to validate the authenticity of NiagaraAX licensing files. The certificates folder has nothing to do with SSL security.
