The SMS uses a web security SSL certificate to establish secure
communication between a web browser and the SMS server. When the SMS is
configured for high availability (HA), the certificate is synchronized across
nodes in the SMS HA cluster.
You can import a certificate now, or if you have already imported a
certificate into the SMS certificate repository, simply choose the one you
want. For more information about certificate management, see
View certificates.

The SMS web security SSL certificate panel displays the following
information for the current certificate:
- Current Certificate – The SMS name of the certificate.
- Pending Certificate – If you edit the name of the certificate, the SMS will display the new name until you reboot the SMS. After you reboot the SMS, the certificate name will appear as the current certificate.
The SMS provides a <Default Certificate>. If you experience
problems with the certificate, you can reset the certificate to the default.
