Certificates can apply to:

• A specific deployment: These certificates are local to the deployment. See Create Different Types of Certificates for a Secure Deployment.

• Shared across deployments added to the same Service Manager: These are shared certificates created from the Service Manager Certificate Management page. These certificates can be shared across multiple deployments supervised by one Service Manager.

• Different source and target deployments: These are called external certificates (extern) with different source and target deployments. See Create a RootCA External Certificate in the Target Deployment. For more information, refer to Connecting Two Deployments Using External RootCA Certificate.
