• Customize your master root certificates.
• Back up the private key of your master root certificates.
• Distribute the master certificates to all computers in your organization for which you want the ability to decrypt SSL communications.
• Manage the root certificates on your NBA appliance, ensuring that the set of root certificates are up to date.
• Activate the SSL decoder module within the NBA.
• Specify the IP ranges and ports that you want to include or exclude from SSL decoding.
