Files you create for SSL and SSH security

Use the APC Security Wizard to create the following components of an SSL

and SSH security system:

• The server certificate for the Battery Management System, if you want

the benefits of authentication that such a certificate provides.You can

create either of the following types of server certificate:

– A server certificate signed by a custom CA root certificate also

created with the APC Security Wizard. Use this method if your

company or agency does not have its own Certificate Authority and

you do not want to use an external Certificate Authority to sign the

server certificate.

– A server certificate signed by an external Certificate Authority. This

Certificate Authority can be one that is managed by your own

company or agency or can be one of the commercial Certificate

Authorities whose CA root certificates are distributed as part of a

browser’s software.

• A certificate signing request containing all the information required for

a server certificate except the digital signature. You need this request if

you are using an external Certificate Authority.

• A CA root certificate.
