Universal Certificate

The Universal Certificate (UCERT) utility creates digital certificates and private keys, which Universal Agent programs can use to securely identify users and computer systems.

The certificates created by Universal Certificate comply with the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure RFC 3280 document; however, not all certificate fields are supported.

The aim of Universal Certificate is to provide a simple certificate creation utility to be used if no Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is available in your company. It is not a replacement for a corporate PKI.

See X.509 Certificates for an introduction to X.509 certificates and how they are used by Universal Agent components.
