DESCRIPTION

Active

Select the Active check box to have the NWA use its internal RADIUS

 

server to authenticate wireless clients or other APs.

 

 

#

This field displays the certificate index number. The certificates are

 

listed in alphabetical order. Use the CERTIFICATES screens to manage

 

certificates. The internal RADIUS server uses one of the certificates

 

listed in this screen for authentication with each wireless client. The

 

exact certificate used depends on the certificate information configured

 

on the wireless client.

 

 

Name

This field displays the name used to identify this certificate. It is

 

recommended that you give each certificate a unique name.

 

auto_generated_self_signed_cert is the factory default certificate

 

common to all NWAs that use certificates.

 

Note: It is recommended that you replace the factory default

 

certificate with one that uses your NWA's MAC address. Do

 

this when you first log in to the NWA or in the

 

CERTIFICATES > My Certificates screen.

 

 

Type

This field displays what kind of certificate this is.

 

REQ represents a certification request and is not yet a valid certificate.

 

Send a certification request to a certification authority, which then

 

issues a certificate. Use the My Certificate Import screen to import

 

the certificate and replace the request.

 

SELF represents a self-signed certificate.

 

*SELF represents the default self-signed certificate, which the NWA

 

uses to sign imported trusted remote host certificates.

 

CERT represents a certificate issued by a certification authority.
