Certificate Creation
The Certificate Management screen provides the facility for creating new self-signed certificates.
Self-signed certificates (often referred to as root certificates) do not use public or private CAs. A
self-signed certificate is a certificate signed by its own creator, with the certificate creator
responsible for its legitimacy.
To create a self-signed certificate:
Select the Launch Manager button from either the SSH RSA Key or RADIUS Server Certificate
parameters (within the Certificate Management screen).
Select Create Certificate from the upper, left-hand, side of the Certificate Management screen.
IP Address
If selecting Advanced, enter the IP address of the server used to export the RSA key. This option is
not valid for cf, usb1 and usb2.
Host
If selecting Advanced, provide the hostname of the server used to export the RSA key. This option is
not valid for cf, usb1 and usb2.
Username/Password
These fields are enabled if using ftp or sftp protocols,. Specify the username and the password for
that username to access the remote servers using these protocols.
Path/File
If selecting Advanced, specify the path to the key. Enter the complete relative path to the key on the
server.
