Additional COS Proxy Root CA Certificate Information
The CTE COS CA Certificate, not to be confused with the Kernel and VMD Kernel Certificates, is used with the COS internal Proxy Certificate Authority and must be used by Clients to validate Certificates received during their TLS connection handshake.

If you want to change the defaults, you can use the silent install option with the CERT_FIELD_PARAM
and SUBJECT_ALT_NAME_PARAM
set to the desired values, or you can replace the default Certificate using the voradmin cos ca_cert
command. For more details, see the voradmin manpage.
