Certificate Procedures

 

 

PEM-format encoded text that you received in an email or on a secure web page.

Caution

Installing or removing certificates requires a system restart and terminates all active conferences.

When you install or remove a certificate, the change is made to the certificate store immediately, but the system can’t implement the change until it restarts and reads the changed certificate store.

For your convenience, you’re not required to restart and apply a change immediately. This permits you to perform multiple installs or removals before restarting and applying the changes. But when you’re finished making changes, you must select Restart to Apply Saved Changes to restart the system and finish your update. Before you begin, make sure there are no active conferences and you’re prepared to restart the system when you’re finished.

To install a signed certificate that identifies the Polycom DMA system

1When you receive your certificate(s), return to Admin > Local Cluster > Certificates.

If you have a PFX, P7B, or single certificate file, click Upload certificate, enter the password (if any) for the file, and browse to the file or enter the path and file name.

If you have PEM-format text, copy the certificate text, click Paste certificate, and paste it into the text box below. You can paste multiple PEM certificates one after the other.

4Click OK.

5To verify that the new signed certificate has replaced the default self-signed certificate:

aIn the list of certificates, once again select the Server SSL certificate. b In the Actions list, select Display Details.
