Self-Signed SSL Certificates
Studio allows for connecting to Kinetica clusters that are using a self-signed certificate for SSL encryption. This option provides additional convenience if the SSL certificate for your Kinetica instance is not CA signed.
Enable the Accept self-signed certificate option to accept a self-signed certificate in lieu of providing Studio a public certificate/key.
Caution: We recommend that you do not rely on using self-signed certificates for connections to confidential data.
