Is the Ignition Edge Designer a different piece of software than the Ignition Gateway Designer?  
I’m using an edge device, I need to add mqtt tags.  
I hit Launch Designer, but it downloads a JNLP file that I can’t use.  
I have designer already installed from the Ignition Gateway software front page, but when I point it to the ignition edge gateway address,  
it tells me SSL Certificate Not Found.

What should I do?  
Do I really need to install an SSL certificate?

Did you use a URL with “https” in it when you pointed it at the Edge gateway?

The self signed certificate by Ignition says it is invalid, do you know how to resolve this?  
Do I need to re-install?

If you have SSL enabled on your Edge gateway but it’s not a real certificate then you need to import it into the Designer Launcher so it can be trusted.
