Field	Description
<Certificate Friendly Name>	Specify the certificate friendly name to be used to secure the requests coming from the Smart Previews Web Resources website. Note: If you already have a certificate that meets the criteria below, use it instead of generating a new self-signed certificate. To generate a new self-signed cert: Click on the Generate button to create a self-signed certificate. The certificate is used to secure the requests coming from the Smart Previews Web Resources website. The certificate will be installed on the local computer under the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder. The certificate is imported using a private key. This is NOT an HTTPS/SSL certificate. This is a separate, new certificate to ensure that requests from only the Smart Preview Web Resource component are accepted. Note: Ensure that the value of the issued-to property of the certificate is valid for the server where you are installing the Smart Previews Hybrid component. Since the request and responses must be encrypted and decrypted with the same certificate, make sure that you generate the .cer file from this certificate when providing the certificate in the Smart Previews Web Resources configuration page. For more information on how to generate a self-signed certificate, see Create a Self-Signed Certificate.
<Database Connection String>	This is the connection string for the Smart Previews Configuration database. You can find this information in: Smart Previews Web Admin console→ Manage databases. For example: `Server=servername;Database=ConfigurationDatabaseName;Trusted_Connection=True;`
