Default CA certificates

The following certificates are installed by default:
 SOAP API Certificate Authority: Before allowing a SOAP client to connect the AP
checks the certificate supplied by a SOAP client to ensure that it is issued by a trusted
certificate authority (CA).
 Management Console Dummy Authority: Used when the management tool
communicates with HP PCM/PMM software.
