Your CA may instead provide you with a .p7b file, which may contain Root and Intermediate or
Root, Intermediate, and Server Certificate content. Check with your CA to find out exactly where
each certificate is located. Your Vidyo server accepts the .pem, .crt, .cer, .der, .p7b, and .pfx
formats. The .pfx format additionally includes the private key which may be password protected.

Uploading or Editing Your Server Certificate

Note Perform the steps in this procedure after you receive certificate files back from your
certification authority.
An unsigned (self-issued) certificate does not provide a guarantee of security to your users.
Your Vidyo server checks certificates for validity based on the certificates issued date range.
Therefore, make sure that the time zone of your server is configured correctly prior to
applying your certificate.
For more information about setting the time zone of your server, see
Settings at the System
If you instead plan on using self-signed certificates, you can click Generate Self-Signed to
have the server sign its own certificate (self-signed). Clicking Generate Self-Signed and
confirming removes your currently implemented server certificate.
