CI Generated Certificates

Last modified by Mark Kohlmann on 2022/01/13 21:36

Chief Integrations can sign certificates for customers to deploy on their processors.  The CI generated certificate will be good until the end of 2040.  This is an alternative to having the customer sign certificates with their own internal infrastructure.
