Digital Certificates

SSL/TLS cannot be enabled unless a digital certificate has been installed on the system, using the Add Certificate button. Installing a digital certificate can only be done by someone with administrator privileges.

The administrator selects SSL/TLS from the [Setup] Menu and clicks on the [Add Certificate] button. This invokes the Add Certificate wizard. There are two options regarding digital certificates. One option is “Self-signed certificate”. This is selected when no third party Certificate Authority is being used.

Another option is “Signed Certificate from a Certificate Authority”. In this case, the administrator needs to supply the fully qualified domain name, IP address, organization and country of the Certificate Authority.

If the choice is to use a Certificate Authority, all Certificate information needs to be held in a file and sent to the Certificate Authority. The Authority returns a valid certificate that must be installed on the system.

NOTE: A self-signed certificate is not as secure as a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority. A self-signed certificate is the most convenient way to begin using SSL/TLS and does not require the use of a server functioning as a Certificate Authority or a third party Certificate Authority.

Once the Digital Certificate has been installed, the Enable SSL/ TLS selection becomes available among the [Setup] options. At that time the administrator can select the mode of operation, Normal or Secure, from a drop-down menu.
