IP Access Configuration & Operation

 

 

 

After completing these three steps, the P16-IP has its own certificate that is used to identify it to its clients.

Note: If you destroy the CSR on the P16-IP there is no way to get it back! In case you deleted it by mistake, you have to repeat the three steps as described previously.

Common name

This is the network name of the P16-IP once it is installed in the user©s network It is identical to the name that is used to access the P16-IP with a web browser (without the “ http:// ” prefix). In case the name given here and the actual network name differ, the browser will pop up a security warning when the P16-IP is accessed using HTTPS.

Organizational unit

This field is used for specifying to which department within an organization the P16-IP belongs.

Organization

The name of the organization to which the P16-IP belongs.

Locality/City

The city where the organization is located.

State/Province

The state or province where the organization is located.

Country (ISO code)
