System Options

CA certiﬁcates - to authenticate peer certiﬁcates, for example the certiﬁcate of an authentication server in case the Axis product is connected to an IEEE 802.1X protected network.

Note

Installed certiﬁcates, except preinstalled CA certiﬁcates, will be deleted if the product is reset to factory default. Preinstalled CA certiﬁcates that have been deleted will be reinstalled.

AServer/Client certiﬁcate can be self-signed or issued by a Certiﬁcate Authority (CA). A self-signed certiﬁcate offers limited protection and can be used before a CA-issued certiﬁcate has been obtained.

To install a self-signed certiﬁcate:

1.Go to System Options > Security > Certiﬁcates.

2.Click Create self-signed certiﬁcate and provide the requested information. To create and install a CA-signed certiﬁcate:

1.Create a self-signed certiﬁcate as described above.

2.Go to System Options > Security > Certiﬁcates.

3.Click Create certiﬁcate signing request and provide the requested information.

4.Copy the PEM-formatted request and send to the CA of your choice.

5.When the signed certiﬁcate is returned, click Install certiﬁcate and upload the certiﬁcate.

Server/Client certiﬁcates can be installed as Certiﬁcate from signing request or as Certiﬁcate and private key. Select Certiﬁcate and private key if the private key is to be upload as a separate ﬁle or if the certiﬁcate is in PKCS#12 format.

The Axis product is shipped with several preinstalled CA certiﬁcates. If required, additional CA certiﬁcates can be installed:

1.Go to System Options > Security > Certiﬁcates

2.Click Install certiﬁcate and upload the certiﬁcate.
