Managing certificate authority certificates

CA certificates are required by connections that use transport layer security (TLS), and by S/MIME encryption. For more information, see
“Configuring TLS security profiles” and
“Configuring certificate bindings”. Depending on the configuration of each PKI user, CA certificates may also be required to authenticate PKI users. For more information, see
“Configuring PKI authentication”.
