  2. From the left side panel, click on the Certificates option listed under Certificates & CAs.

  3. Scroll down the main page and go to the Create Certificate section.

  4. Enter a Certificate Authority Name and Common Name. These may have the same value, such as ESKM Local CA.

  5. Enter your Organizational information.

  6. Select the Algorithm (e.g., RSA-2048).

  7. Click on Self-signed Root CA and enter the CA Certification Duration and Maximum User Certificate Duration. These values determine when the certificate must be renewed and should be set in accordance with your company's security policies.
