PHA : Where to generate the Certificate?

We need to generate the certificate from the SharePoint Server.  The Certificate authorizes the PHA server through the Issuer ID and Password.

Creating Certificate

Open SharePoint Server > Go to IIS > Root Site > Server Certificates

Choose Create Self Signed Certificate from the right hand side.

Enter a name.

You will get the certificate created.

For PHA Apps we need to Sign the Certificate.  You can refer to Signing here.
