For a public certificate, make sure that the domain it is issued to resolves to the local IP address of storage zones controller. To do that, update the hosts file on the storage zones controller to map the domain associated with the certificate to the storage zones controller IP address. If the two addresses do not resolve, users will not be able to upload files from storage zones controller.
