Install CA Certificates

You must install Certificate Authority (CA) certificates on each client and server machine where Web HMI is installed.

  1. Log in to the Web HMI server machine.
  2. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Proficy\ProficyWebServer\SetCertificates\set-certificates-<version>\ca.
  3. Copy the ca.cert.pem file to the client machine.
  4. For iPad clients, do the following to install and trust the certificate in a configuration profile:
    1. Click ca.cert.pem.
    2. When asked to allow this website to open Settings to show a configuation profile, select Allow.
    3. When the Install Profile screen appears, select Install.
    4. If a warning message appears, select Install.
    5. When another Install Profile screen appears, select Install.
    6. When the Profile installed screen shows that the certificate is verified, select Done.
    7. For iPads using iOS 10.3 or higher, you can trust the certificate by navigating to Settings > General > About > Certificate Trust Settings.
      Each certificate installed via a profile is listed under Enable Full Trust for Root Certificates.
    8. Under Enable Full Trust for Root Certificates, use the toggle button to trust the certificate, and then select Continue to store this certificate to the Trust store.
  5. For Windows clients, do the following to install and trust the certificate:
    1. Rename the ca.cert.pem file to ca.cert.cer.
    2. Double-click ca.cert.cer and select Install Certificate.
    3. Select Local Machine > Trusted Root Certification Authorities to install the certificate to the Windows store.
      A message appears confirming the import was successful.
  6. Repeat this process on each client and server machine (if using the server machine as a client).
