“CERTIFICATES” Tab

The “CERTIFICATES” tab contains various configuration options for managing certificates. New certificates can be created and generated, and existing certificates can be imported or exported for signing. All existing certificates are listed in a table.

WAGO Solution Builder generates private keys for certificates through elliptic curve encryption (ECC) with at least 256 bits.

This tab appears when the “Solution,” “Property,” and “Building” entities are selected and for all device types.
