Windows Certificate Store Vs. Certs Path - Honeywell Thor VM1 User Manual

Windows Certificate Store vs. Certs Path

Note: It is important that all dates are correct on the Thor VM1 and host computers when using
any type of certificate. Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct
authentication will fail.
If using the Windows Certificate Store, the Windows Account must have a
password. The password cannot be left blank. The Summit Client Utility
uses the Windows user account credentials to access the Certificate Store.
The Windows user account credentials need not be the same as the creden-
tials entered in the Summit Client Utility.
