LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Name	This field displays the identifying name of this certificate. You can use
	up to 31 alphanumeric and ;‘~!@#$%^&()_+[]{}’,.=- characters.
Certification Path	This field displays for a certificate, not a certification request.
	Click the Refresh button to have this read-only text box display the
	hierarchy of certification authorities that validate the certificate (and
	the certificate itself).
	If the issuing certification authority is one that you have imported as
	a trusted certification authority, it may be the only certification
	authority in the list (along with the certificate itself). If the certificate
	is a self-signed certificate, the certificate itself is the only one in the
	list. The NWA3000-N series AP does not trust the certificate and
	displays “Not trusted” in this field if any certificate on the path has
	expired or been revoked.
Refresh	Click Refresh to display the certification path.
Certificate	These read-only fields display detailed information about the
Information	certificate.
Type	This field displays general information about the certificate. CA-signed
	means that a Certification Authority signed the certificate. Self-signed
	means that the certificate’s owner signed the certificate (not a
	certification authority). “X.509” means that this certificate was
	created and signed according to the ITU-T X.509 recommendation
	that defines the formats for public-key certificates.

	Organization (O), State (ST), and Country (C).
Issuer	This field displays identifying information about the certificate’s
	issuing certification authority, such as Common Name, Organizational
	Unit, Organization and Country.
	With self-signed certificates, this is the same as the Subject Name
	field.
	“none” displays for a certification request.
Signature	This field displays the type of algorithm that was used to sign the
Algorithm	certificate. The NWA3000-N series AP uses rsa-pkcs1-sha1 (RSA
	public-private key encryption algorithm and the SHA1 hash
	algorithm). Some certification authorities may use rsa-pkcs1-md5
	(RSA public-private key encryption algorithm and the MD5 hash
	algorithm).
Valid From	This field displays the date that the certificate becomes applicable.
	“none” displays for a certification request.
