If you create an SSL certificates with BMC Defender Server, it is automatically stored in the installationDirectory\system\certs directory. Replace installationDirectory with the directory in which you installed the product. The default directory is C:\Program Files\BMC Software\BMC Defender.
The certificate file must be in PEM format, as defined in RFCs 1421 through 1424. The input file can include the public certificate or an entire certificate chain including public key, private key, and root certificates.
For listeners, this option is required.
For forwarders, complete this option if a client certificate is required to complete an SSL handshake.
