    NOTE: The REST server is used to Generate PDF, Generate CSV, or Generate XML, for most types of reports. This requires valid and trusted server certificates. If SAML authentication is used, identity provider (for example ADFS) certificates must also be valid and trusted for report generation to succeed. For more information about certificates, refer to the Edit Additional Cluster Settings section in iManage Records Manager Administration Guide.
