  * **Default certificate will not work in Multi-instance mode, agents will refuse the connection because the certificate is not bound to server IP address**
  * **In this case, you must generate a self signed certificate and bind it to the local IP**
  * Generated certificates will be stored in the keystore
  * Pro.Monitor keystore is located in the ''certificates/.keystore'' file of Pro.Monitor install folder

**ATTENTION :** Be aware that any modification in security settings will be effective only after restarting Pro.Monitor

==== About Adding certificates ====
  * There are several reasons why you might need to register certificates for secure connections:
    * Secure LDAP
    * Secure plugin
    * Secure primary server (for agents)
    * Secure SAPControl or portal connection
  * First you need to get the certificate and then to install it.
