If a CA-signed Certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (such as VeriSign or Thawte) is 
going to be purchased, the certificate request can now sent to a CA for verification and 
processing. After the certificate response is received from the CA, the installation process can 
continue on the ETV Portal Server web server. Purchasing a CA-signed certificate adds to the 
security of the system, but also adds costs. Non-CA signed certificates will cause a security 
alert in the browser upon the first access to the server.
