By default, a PAN-DB server uses predefined
certificates for mutual authentication to establish the SSL connections
used for management access and inter-device communication. However,
you can configure authentication using custom certificates instead.
Custom certificates allow you to establish a unique chain of trust
to ensure mutual authentication between your PAN-DB server and firewalls.
In the case of a PAN-DB private cloud, the firewall acts as the
client and the PAN-DB server acts as the server.
