HTML5 Export Certificate Signing Request

In Niagara 4.14 and later, there is added browser supports the Export Certificate Signing Request step. Running this step exports a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from each remote device for external signing. Certificates installed for use on a controller are typically Server certificates. The “HTML5” version of this view is a web-browser-based implementation and it provides the same functions as the Workbench view.
