Signify Certificate Installation

This section explains how to install the security certificate for each major operating system.

This enables a secure connection between the operating device’s web browser and the EG. Connecting from a new device/browser for the first time triggers a warning message such "Your connection is not private", or similar.

These instructions are written for Chromium-based browsers. Other browsers require similar steps, but for clarity we recommend also using a Chromium-based browser.

Download Certificate

  1. In the web browser, go to \https://[localhost]/Signify.cer, or you can make your own SB certificate.

    To establish a HTTPS connection with Dynalite network devices using a System Builder certificate, it is required to install SB root CA certificate file in client systems. You can use the SB Manage Certificate feature from a previous job file to download the root CA certificate file from a connected network device such as a PDEG, and reuse this job file in future when you need to download the certificate.

  2. If a warning such as "Your connection is not private" appears, click Advanced.
