Private Certificate

When logging in over a secure (SSL) connection, a signed certificate is used to verify that the user is

logging in to the intended site. For enhanced security, the Private Certificate section allows you to use

your own private encryption key and signed certificate, rather than the default certificate.

There are two methods for establishing your private certificate:

• Generating a Self-Signed Certificate

To create your own self-signed certificate, free utilities are available for download over the web.

See “Self-Signed Private Certificates” on page 112 for more information.

• Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate

For the greatest security, a third party certificate authority (CA) signed certificate is

recommended. To obtain a third party signed certificate, go to a CA (Certificate Authority)

website to apply for an SSL certificate. After the CA sends you the certificate and private

encryption key, save them to a convenient location on your computer.

• Importing the Private Certificate

To import the private certificate:

1. Click Browse to the right of Private Key, browse to the location of your private encryption key

file and select it.

2. Click Browse to the right of Certificate, browse to the location of your certificate file and select

it.

3. Click Upload to complete the procedure.

Note: 1. Click Restore Default to returns the device to using the default certificate.

2. Both the private encryption key and the signed certificate must be imported at the

same time.
