POST /serverCertificate/tmp

Use this method to uploads a new signed server certificate to Lenovo XClarity Administrator and provisions the new certificate to all managed devices.

When a self-signed certificate is generated and, a job is created to provision the new certificate to all managed devices. Use the GET /serverCertificate/jobs/{job_id} method to retrieve the job status and additional job details. If a job was not successfully started, refer to the response code and response body for details.
