Configuring SSL certificates
If the Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway has the Secure ma nagement (HTTPS) or Encryption feature
key installed, and you enable Secure web on the Network > Serv ices page, you will be able to
access the web interface of the ISDN Gateway using HTT PS. The ISDN Gateway has a local
certificate and private key pre-installed and this will be us ed by default when you access the unit using
HTTPS. However, we recommend that you upload your own cer tificate and private key to ensure
security as all ISDN Gateways have identical default cer tificates and keys.
To upload your own certificate and key, go to Network > SSL certifi cates. Complete the fields using
the table below for help and click Upload certificate and key. Note that you must upload a certificate
