Importing Email Server Certificates
Siveillance Control offers the possibility to send emails as an operation procedure step in events. Since emails always need to be encrypted, the installation of the server certificates is necessary.

siveillancecontrol stop
- Open the temporary directory that contains the certificate copy.

/usr/share/viewpoint/bin/importCertificate.sh –p
KEYSTOREPASSWORD –f CERTIFICATEFILE
