You’ll need to set up a certificate authority (CA) to manage networks and monitor traffic for your ChromeOS devices. It’s important to set up a CA to ensure that your users can access websites that have digital certificates that can be validated by a specific CA. This should be done early during your deployment to ensure that users can access websites without issues.
Step 1: Set up a CA in yourAdmin console
You can add up to50 certificates in each organizational unit.
To apply the setting to all devices, leave the top organizational unit selected. Otherwise, select a child organizational unit.
Click Create certificate.
For Certificate, enter a name for the certificate.
Click Upload.
Select the PEM, CRT, or CER file. Note: Only one certificate can be included in thefile.The file will be rejected if it contains no certificate or more than one certificate. DER-encoded certificates are not supported.
Click Open.
For Certificate Authority, select the platforms that the certificate is a CAfor.
Technically, anyone can create their own SSL certificate by generating a public-private key pairing and including all the information mentioned above. Such certificates are called self-signed certificates because the digital signature used, instead of being from a CA, would be the website's own private key.
To be your own CA in a web network, you must create a CA database and self-signed CA certificate using GSKKYMAN. A server or client that wishes for you to sign a certificate must supply you with their certificate request.
One particularly common use for certificate authorities is to sign certificates used in HTTPS, the secure browsing protocol for the World Wide Web. Another common use is in issuing identity cards by national governments for use in electronically signing documents.
Can you use HTTPS without a certificate? No, you cannot use HTTPS without a certificate. This is because HTTPS is a secure protocol that set up a communication between the server and the user. So, you must have SSL certificate to redirect your website to HTTPS.
Cloudflare: Cloudflare offers free standard SSL certificates, alongside additional security and performance features. Their certificates can be installed with just one click and auto-renew, so you don't have to manually update things. They also take care of redirecting your site from HTTP to HTTPS to avoid any issues.
They help secure the internet for both organizations and users. The main goal of a CA is to verify the authenticity and trustworthiness of a website, domain and organization so users know exactly who they're communicating with online and whether that entity can be trusted with their data.
