5.2.3 Certificate Creation
Assigning Certificates
The Certificate Management screen provides the facility for creating new self-signed certificates. Self
signed certificates (often referred to as root certificates) do not use public or private CAs. A self signed
certificate is a certificate signed by its own creator, with the certificate creator responsible for its legitimacy.
To create a self-signed certificate:
Key Name Enter the 32 character maximum name assigned to the RSA key.
Key Passphrase Define the key passphrase used by both the AP-6511 and the server. Select the
Show textbox to expose the actual characters used in the passphrase. Leaving
the Show checkbox unselected displays the passphrase as a series of asterisks
“*”.
URL Provide the complete URL to the location of the key. If needed, select
Advanced to expand the dialog to display network address information to the
location of the target key The number of additional fields that populate the
screen is also dependent on the selected protocol.
Protocol Select the protocol used for exporting the RSA key. Available options include:
tftp
ftp
sftp
http
cf
usb1
usb2
Port Use the spinner control to set the port. This option is not valid for cf, usb1, and
usb2.
IP Address Enter IP address of the server used to export the RSA key. This option is not
valid for cf, usb1, and usb2.
Hostname Provide the hostname of the server used to export the RSA key. This option is
not valid for cf, usb1, and usb2.
Path Specify the path to the key. Enter the complete relative path to the key on the
server.
