How can I tell if a managed site is configured to use a client SSL certificate?
Managed Sites may be configured to use a client SSL certificate but this does not guarantee that the remote server actually requires a client certificate for authentication. If you are unsure, consult the administrator of the remote site.
Version 3.6 and below
Open the Configurator to the Managed Sites menu, select the site name in the list and click the “Edit” button to bring up the Edit Site Settings form. If the checkbox labeled “Force SSL Client Certificate” is checked, the site is configured to use a client SSL certificate. You can find the name of the client SSL certificate file by clicking the “Choose Certificate” button on the Configure SSL menu.
Version 3.7 and above
Open the Configurator to the Managed Sites menu, select the site name in the list and click the “Edit” button to bring up the Edit Site Settings form. If the checkbox labeled “SSL Client Cert” is checked, the site is configured to use a client SSL certificate.
Like previous versions, Robo-FTP 3.7 allows you to specify a shared global client certificate but, unlike previous versions, you can now optionally specify a different client SSL certificate for each managed site. You can determine if a site is configured to use a custom client certificate by clicking the “Key/Cert Authentication” button to display the Choose Certificate form. If the form is blank the site is using the shared global client certificate. You can find the name of the shared global client SSL certificate file by clicking the “Choose Certificate” button on the Configure SSL menu.
Note that the above description applies to Robo-FTP 3.7. The exact layout of the Edit Site Settings form may vary slightly for later versions of Robo-FTP. See the Help file for your version of Robo-FTP for details.
