This section describes the decisions you make during installation that will apply to your

Registration Managers Certificates

When you install the Registration Manager, the keys for the Registration Manager signing
certificate and SSL server certificate are created and a certificate request is made for the
signing certificate and the SSL server certificate.
You submit this request either to a CS CA, or you submit the request to a third party public
CA and then install the certificate you receive from the CA during the rest of the
installation. If you submit the request to a CS CA, the installation program will allow you
submit the request to the CA in the install wizard, and pick up the certificate once it is
approved.
