Chapter 21 Remote Management

Click CERTIFICATES. Find the certificate and check its Subject column. CN stands for certificate’s common name (see Figure 250 on page 384 for an example).

Use this procedure to have the ZyWALL use a certificate with a common name that matches the ZyWALL’s actual IP address. You cannot use this procedure if you need to access the WAN port and it uses a dynamically assigned IP address.

Create a new certificate for the ZyWALL that uses the IP address (of the ZyWALL’s port that you are trying to access) as the certificate’s common name. For example, to use HTTPS to access a LAN port with IP address 192.168.1.1, create a certificate that uses 192.168.1.1 as the common name.

Go to the remote management WWW screen and select the newly created certificate in the Server Certificate field. Click Apply.

After you accept the certificate, the ZyWALL login screen appears. The lock displayed in the bottom right of the browser status bar denotes a secure connection.

The factory default certificate is a common default certificate for all ZyWALL models.
