4.3.2 Creating Self Certificates for Accessing the VPNThe AP-5131 requires two kinds of certificates for accessing the VPN, CA certificates and self 
certificates. Self certificates are certificate requests you create, send to a Certificate Authority (CA) 
to be signed, then import the signed certificate into the management system. 
CAUTION Self certificates can only be generated using the AP-5131 GUI and CLI 
interfaces. No functionality exists for creating a self-certificate using 
the AP-5131’s SNMP configuration option.
