Extensions for SSL Server Certificate

You can specify the extensions for an SSL server certificate only if you are installing
a Certificate Manager and you have decided to have that local Certificate Manager
issue the certificate. If the SSL server certificate is issued by a remote CA, its
extensions are determined by the issuing CA.
The default settings should work for most deployments. If necessary, you can add
an additional extension by pasting its base-64 encoding in the space provided on
this screen. For more information about extensions, see Appendix C, "Certificate
and CRL Extensions" of CMS Plug-Ins Guide.
Confirm that you want to include the following extensions. Check off all that
apply; defaults are indicated in parentheses.
