Web Site and Web Application Certificates

This section provides background information for installing a website and Web application certificate. For related procedures, see step-by-step section.

Installing a website and Web application certificate is a one-time procedure required the first time before you launch a Desigo CC Windows App Client.

This procedure downloads a security certificate from the Desigo CC web page, which allows the browser to verify the signature when downloading the Windows App Client.

• Web site certificate is a certificate used by the website to prove its identity and to secure the communication between the web server (IIS) and the Windows App Client. (see Install the Website Certificate)
