The Roaming Agents Relay client certificate (EcatRelayClient.pfx) and CA certificate (EcatRelayCA.cer) must be imported on the NetWitness Endpoint Console Server system in order to properly encrypt and verify communication with RAR. 

  1. Certificates must be added to the certificate store for the local machine, not the currently logged in user.  To access the certificate store for the local machine, open the Run dialog and execute MMC to open the Management Console.  Under the File menu select Add/Remove Snap-in.
