    Certificate source
    Containing the value "GUI" for manual certificate import, this field is used to distinguish root certificates that are automatically imported through the Odette TSL file.
    The Details section shows the most important certificate values.
    When you import a certificate on the OFTP tab that has the same CLID as as an existing certificate, a dialog is displayed that allows you to trigger the automatic certificate exchange. Three options are available:
    • Save the certificate without triggering a certificate exchange.
    • Use certificate exchange to send the new certificate as a succession certificate automatically to all partners who use the old certificate.
    • Replace the old certificate with the new one. Subsequently, the old certificate is no longer accepted by all the partners who have confirmed the certificate exchange.
