To connect to a Secure Endpoint private cloud instance from Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC), the network engineer requires the SSL certificate for the Secure Endpoint private cloud instance. This SSL certificate is necessary to establish a secure, trusted connection between the FMC and the private cloud instance. Steps: * Obtain the SSL certificate from the server administrator. * Import the SSL certificate into the FMC. * Configure the connection to the Secure Endpoint private cloud instance using the provided hostname and SSL certificate. This ensures a secure and authenticated connection to the private cloud instance. References:Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Integration Guide, Chapter on Secure Endpoint Integration.
