  4. Optional: TLS Certificate

Steps

  1. Login to your Windows Server with Titan NextGen installed

  1. NOTE: Using the default certificate will cause a warning in the browser as the certificate is self-signed. You’ll want to go back out to the main Home option and choose the “Manage Certificates” option at the top right. Now, you can Import a proper TLS certificate for use.
