Generating a Root CA Certificate
Note: It is important that all dates are correct on the VX7 and host computers when using any type of certificate. Certificates
are date sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication will fail.
The easiest way to get the root CA certificate is to use a browser on a PC to navigate to the Certificate Authority. To request
