Creating backup of FLP root certificates

Set up a Encryption password for FLP root certificates backup.

Important

Retaining a copy of the root certificate is mandatory as it will be required for any future restoration of the FLP. Restoring the FLP with the same root certificate is essential to preserve the trust relationship between the FLP and the BNK/CNE cluster. Using a different root certificate during restoration may disrupt the trust relationship and cause communication issues.
