Signing multiple certificates

If you have to sign certificates for many controllers, remote stations, or Supervisor PC, signing each one individually can take a long time. This procedure helps you sign all your certificates at once.
Prerequisites: Your CA certificate performing the signing is in the Workbench User Key Store and you exported your certificates as CSR files (signing requests) to a folder on your hard drive.
  1. Navigate to Tools > Certificate Signer Multiple Selection Tool.
    The Select Certificate Signing Request(s) window opens.

  6. To confirm completion, click OK twice.
