One of the steps of Distributed Migration requires the encryption and decryption of secure passwords and other information. As a result, a security certificate is generated when leveraging the Distributed Migration Wizard (though it may be substituted for any certificate you create yourself). Please see the Distributed Migration section of the Metalogix Content Matrix SharePoint Edition documentation. The aforementioned certificate is required to be on both the Controller and the Agent; this step is performed for you when leveraging the Distributed Migration Wizard but may be required to perform manually if the Wizard is not leveraged.
This parameter represents the name of the registered certificate that exists at both the Controller and the Agent and that will be used for encryption and decryption protocols.
