Hi Satya:<br>
<br>
The VenueServer is, internally, a web server using SSL. For this
reason, a certificate is required. <br>
<br>
As a convenience, we have issued certificate for the AG community for
years. It's simple to request and install a certificate, and the
associated CA certificate is included with client installations. This
is exactly the procedure used by web servers and browsers, where your
browser ships with many well-known CA certificates.<br>
<br>
If you want to issue your own certificates, you're free to do so. The
AG software supports import of third-party CA certificates and server
certificates to make this possible. One problem you will encounter is
that your users must have your CA certificate installed, so you'll have
to make it available to them with instructions for importing it. <br>
<br>
I've long thought that we should support an administrative mechanism
for shipping configuration state to user communities (e.g., CA
certificates, venue server preferences, bridge preferences), but the
impetus for that has not yet materialized. I'd be happy to advise such
an effort, and wouldn't expect it to be difficult.<br>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I want to install my own
venue server at my premises and
create venue clients. When I have gone through the documentation I
understood
that to install venue server I need to get Server Certificate. I would
like to
whether this step is essential to start my own venue server or is there
any
methodology using which I can start my own venue server and manage
venue
clients. Pl. let me know reason behind imposing registration of new
Venue
Server installations at central site by asking to send request for
VenueServer
certificate.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
