strong assurance of the server’s identity. A self-signed certificate will trigger a warning from most browsers as it provides no protection against identity theft of the server.

Your SSL VPN Concentrator contains a self-signed certificate from NETGEAR. NETGEAR recommends that you replace this certificate prior to deploying the SSL VPN Concentrator in your network.

From the Certificates menu, you can view the currently loaded certificates, upload a new certificate and generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

Obtaining a Certificate from a Certificate Authority

To obtain a certificate from a CA, you must generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for your SSL VPN Concentrator. The CSR is a file containing information about your company and about the device that will hold the certificate. Refer to the CA for guidelines on the information you include in your CSR.

To generate a new Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file:

1.Under the System Configuration menu in the left navigation pane, select Certificates. The Certificates screen displays.
