Windows Certificate Store Vs. Certs Path - Honeywell Thor VM2 User Manual

Windows Certificate Store vs. Certs Path

Note: It is important that all dates are correct on the Thor VM2 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 Laird Configuration Man-
ager uses the Windows user account credentials to access the Certificate
Store. The Windows user account credentials need not be the same as the
credentials entered in the Laird Configuration Manager.
