Overview

This extension installs SSL Certificates. This is required when an extension will make a call to a HTTPS server using the Java architecture. The remote server will have a certificate that needs to be downloaded and installed on the local JVM keystore. This needs to be done on all nodes if Windchill is running on a cluster. This extension automatically installs on all the nodes.
