Server Certificate Entries
Feature	Description
Server Certificate Field
Information:
Update
	Updates the target Master with the information entered on this
	page.
	• This process can take a few minutes.
Bit Length
	Provides a drop-down selection with three available public key
	lengths: 512, 1024, and 2048.
	• Longer key lengths result in increased certificate processing
	times.
	• A longer key length results in more secure certificates.
Common Name
	The Common Name of the certificate MUST be the URL Domain
	Name used.
	• Example: If the address used is www.amxuser.com, that must
	be the Common name and format used.
	• The Common Name can not be an IP Address.
	• If the server is internal, the Netbios name must be used.
	• For every website using SSL that has a distinct DNS name,
	there must be a certificate installed. Each website (external or
	Internet) for SSL MUST also have a distinct IP Address.
Organization Name
	Name of your business or organization. This is an alpha-numeric
	string (1 - 50 characters in length).
Organizational Unit
	Name of the department using the certificate. This is an
	alpha-numeric string (1 - 50 characters in length).
City/Location
	Name of the city where the certificate is used. This is an
	alpha-numeric string (1 - 50 characters in length).
State/Province
	Name of the state or province where the certificate is used. This
	is an alpha-numeric string (1 - 50 characters in length).
Country Name
	Provides a drop-down selection with a listing of currently
	selectable countries.
Action
	Provides a drop-down selection with a listing of available
	certificate options:
	• Display Certificate - Populates the Server Certificate fields with
	the information from the certificate currently installed on the
	Master. This action is used only to display the information
	contained in the certificate on the target Master.
	• Create Request - Takes the information entered into the
	previous fields and formats the certificate so it can be
	exported to the external Certificate Authority (CA) for later
	receipt of an SSL Certificate. This action is used to request
	a certificate from an external source.
	• Self Generate Certificate - Takes the information entered into
	the previous fields and generates its own SSL Certificate.
	This action is used when no previous certificate has been
	installed on the target Master, or a self-signed certificate
	is desired.
	• Regenerate Certificate - Takes the information entered into the
	previous fields and regenerates an SSL Certificate. This
	action changes the Master Key.
	This method of certificate generation is used to modify or
	recreate a previously existing certificate already on the
	Master.
