Before deploying the EDS service, you must prepare an SSL certificate that meets the following requirements:
- The SSL certificate is issued by a trusted certificate authority.
- The SSL certificate and its private key are in a .PFX file (you must have the password of the file).
- The key size of the SSL certificate is 2048 bits or more.
- The value of the Issued to certificate property is a hostname in the FQDN format. This hostname is resolved through external DNS servers to the FrontNet IP address of the EDS server. See DNS Requirements for more details.
This SSL certificate will be used to secure communication between the EDS service and customer EDS components that are installed in Active Directory domains of customers.
