Two modes exist for safe data links.
Mode 1:
•
No examination of the server certificate takes place when setting up the connection. The
authenticity of the server certificate is not verified. See
Figure 59 .
Figure 59: Mode 1 – Customer Root Certificate does not exist
Mode 2 (see Section 12.2.1 , 1. Step):
• Customer Root Certificate is inside of the module.
• Command: Switch on Certificate Verification for HTTPS Connections was sent.
• The server certificate is examined when setting up a connection. Two configurations are
valid. The server certificate is identical to the certificate in the module (both certificates are
self signed root certificates) or the server certificate forms a chain with the certificate of the
module. Thus the authenticity of the server certificate can be examined with the help of the
certificate of the module. See
Figure 60 and Figure 61 .
