Importing an alternative BACnet/SC root certificate

When creating a project, ABT Site creates a root certificate, which is valid for the whole project. You can also import an alternative root certificate in ABT Site. This may be the case e.g. when your IT department requires that you work with a proprietary root certificate, generated by a dedicated CA (certificate authority) chosen by the IT department.

In case you need to roll back to the internal root certificate of ABT Site you can regenerate the internal root certificate.

  6. You have imported a root certificate. The old root certificate is still present in the project for a transition time until you download to all devices.
