Chapter 3: Web Management Interface

Certificates

A site certificate is needed for a browser to allow access to the FF240-IP unit. This certificate is self- signed, so your browser will likely show a security warning (which simply means the certificate is not authenticated by a third party) before you can continue. Use this page to replace the default certificate with the one that contains details specific to your installation. These values are for identification purposes only. Creating a new certificate will require a reboot of the FF240-IP. A pop-up will warn of this and allow you to cancel the changes if necessary.

After generating a new certificate, you may have to make an allowance in your web browser to log back in to the FF240-IP unit. Browsers will not allow access without a valid certificate and the FF240-IP does have a valid certificate, but it is self-signed (i.e. no third party verification), so your browser displays a warning about this. You may safely continue (Internet Explorer), or in the case of Firefox, temporarily add the FF240-IP certificate to the exception list. Details on how to add to an exception list can be found in Chapter 2.

Generate Server Certificate

Common Name

Enter the common name associated with the certificate. This should be set to the Hostname or IP address, depending on which you will use when connecting to the FF240-IP. A web browser will use this field to check for a valid certificate. No more than 64 characters are allowed.

Days

Enter the number of days that the certificate is valid. No more than 3 digits are allowed.

Country

Enter the country that the certificate is valid for using in, using its two letter code. A search for “country codes” at www.iso.org will give you a list if needed. The code US is for the United States.

State/Province

Enter the state or province that the certificate is valid for. No more than 64 characters are allowed.

Locality/City

Enter the city or locality that the certificate is valid for. No more than 64 characters are allowed.

Organization

Enter the name of the organization that the certificate is valid for. No more than 64 characters are allowed.
