Importing Certificates to a Viewer on a Client Computer

NOTE: If you will be using only the non-PKI-authenticated viewer connections to the switch (such as Level 1 – no encryption/authentication or Level 2 – 256-bit SSL encryption and only server authentication by client), you are not obliged to use or import any certificates and you can skip this section.

To make a fully PKI-authenticated viewer connection with the Digital KVM over IP Switch, you need to import client certificates to the Win32 viewer and Java viewer on the client computer. A default set of certificates is provided on the enclosed CD, or you can use your own set of certificates. If using your own, in addition to importing the client certificates to the Win32/Java viewer on the remote client computer(s), you should import the root certificate, the server certificate and the server private key to the switch on the Web Management interface Security Settings screen. (Refer to Main/Security – Certificate Installation, Viewer Encryption and Password Policies in the next section.)

The file names of the client certificates can vary (client_name1.p12, client_name2.p12, etc.), but the certificates and private key for the switch remain as they are (root.crt, server.crt, serverkey.pem). The client certificates should be imported in the .p12 format, using the import utility of whichever viewer (Win32 or Java) is on the client computer. NOTE: Make sure you have the certificates ready for import, either on a transfer device or the local computer hard drive. If you copy certificates to the local hard drive, you may need to delete them after finishing the import so others won’t have access to the certificate files. Even though they’re password- protected, one can never be too careful. Remember, too, that the Win32 and Java viewers require separate certificate import utilities.

Import a Client Certificate to a Java Viewer

Go to Start Programs PROSUM

KLE Viewer Import Certificates. Click “Root Certificate” to import the root certificate; click “Client Certificate” to import the client certificate. When the
