Set new ESET PROTECT Server certificate

Your ESET PROTECT Server certificate is created during installation and distributed to ESET Management Agents and other components to allow communication to the ESET PROTECT Server. If necessary, you can configure ESET PROTECT Server to use a different peer certificate. You can use ESET PROTECT Server certificate (generated automatically during installation) or a Custom certificate. The ESET PROTECT Server certificate is required for a secure TLS connection and authentication. The Server certificate is used to make sure that ESET Management Agents and ESET PROTECT Proxies do not connect to an illegitimate server.
