DESCRIPTION

This class is used for generating the certificates used for signing SAML AuthnRequest messages and for mutual SSL encryption of messages sent over the backchannel.

For both production and ITE environments, CSRs will be generated for signing by a certification authority (CA). (Historically self-signed certificates were used in ITE).

METHODS
