Configure the Auto-register Hub Cert feature

The Auto-register Hub Cert option determines what happens when the AnywhereUSB Manager doesn't have a certificate for a Hub, and the Hub attempts to connect to the Manager. The Auto-register Hub Cert option configuration determines whether the Manager collects and stores the Hub's certificate.

The table below explains the configuration options.

Does the Manager have a certificate for the Hub?	Does the Manager have the correct Hub certificate?	Auto-register Hub Cert	Outcome
No	N/A	Enabled	The Manager collects the Hub certificate and connects. The Manager requires that same certificate from the Hub on future connections.
No	N/A	Disabled	The Manager does not collect the Hub's certificate and rejects the connection.
Yes	Yes	Not considered	The Hub connects to the Manager.
Yes	No	Not considered	The connection between the Hub and Manager fails and the Invalid Hub Certificate message displays in the Manager.
