Certificate Modes

Endpoint Privilege Management for Windows verifies that an optionally signed Endpoint Privilege Management for Windows configuration has been signed using a certificate trusted for the purpose on any signed settings that it loads.

The Endpoint Privilege Management ePO extension does not support the distribution of signed Endpoint Privilege Management for Windows configuration. The Endpoint Privilege Management ePO extension must be installed in certificate mode 0, if used.
