Default certificates

Peer certificates and Certification Authority that are created during the installation are by default contained in the Static Group All.

    1. Open ESET Remote Administrator Web Console (ERA Web Console) in your web browser and log in.

    1. Click Admin  → Certificates → Peer Certificates (or select Certification Authorities to export a public key).

  1. Select the appropriate certificate. The type of certificate you export will depend on the component you are installing. Export a Server certificate for use when installing server components like ESET Remote Administrator Proxy. Export an Agent certificate for use when installing the ESET Remote Administrator Agent (ERA Agent). See below for examples of when to use each option:
      1. Export - Export your certificate (.pfx file ) or CA (.der file). During product installation, the setup wizard will prompt you for this certificate.

    1. Export as Base64 - Export your certificate or CA as a .txt file. Open this file in a text editor to access your unique certificate or public key for use when creating a transformation (.mst) file or in other applications where it is necessary to enter unique strings from your certificate or CA to submit your credentials.
