Hi Everyone,
I noticed
"By default, the security appliance has a self-signed certificate that is regenerated every time the device is rebooted. We can purchase your own certificate from vendors, such as Verisign t, or you can configure the ASA to issue an identity certificate to itself. This certificate remains the same even when the device is rebooted.
Need to know the reason behind the creation of self assigned certificate on each reboot?

MAhesh

Hello Mahesh,
As you mention that's by default and by desing,
That would help us in the case we set a SSL session to the box (Anyconnect, ASDM) as we will not need to go a step further and manually create or generate an SSL certificate,
Why?
Because the firewall will do it automatically, altough if you purchase one from a CA you can overwrite it by installing the certificate and set it as the SSL certificate for any SSL session,

It does make setup easier. you can also create a self-signed certificate and make that persistent and associated with your SSL VPN and/or device management.
