LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

SHA1 Fingerprint

This is the certificate’s message digest that the ZyXEL Device calculated using

 

 

the SHA1 algorithm. You cannot use this value to verify that this is the remote

 

 

host’s actual certificate because the ZyXEL Device has signed the certificate;

 

 

thus causing this value to be different from that of the remote host’s actual

 

 

certificate. See Section 14.3 on page 158 for how to verify a remote host’s

 

 

certificate before you import it into the ZyXEL Device.

 

 

 

 

Certificate in PEM

This read-only text box displays the certificate or certification request in Privacy

 

(Base-64) Encoded

Enhanced Mail (PEM) format. PEM uses 64 ASCII characters to convert the

 

Format

binary certificate into a printable form.

 

 

You can copy and paste the certificate into an e-mail to send to friends or

 

 

colleagues or you can copy and paste the certificate into a text editor and save

 

 

the file on a management computer for later distribution (via floppy disk for

 

 

example).

Apply

whether or not you want the ZyXEL Device to check the CRL that the

 

 

certification authority issues before trusting a certificate issued by the

 

 

certification authority.
