Description

SHA1 Fingerprint

Unique fingerprint of the certificate, calculated using cryptographic hash

function Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1). This fingerprint can be used to further

verify that the correct certificate is being used.

Certificate Request

This page displays a standardized certificate signing request generated by the Virtual Connect Manager.

The content of the request in the text box can be sent to a Certificate Authority of your choice for signing. After
it is signed by and returned from the Certificate Authority, you can upload the certificate by clicking

Certificate Upload on the Certificates/Authentications (SSL Certificate) screen.
If a Virtual Connect domain IP address is configured for the Virtual Connect Manager at the time this

certificate request is generated, the certificate request is issued to the domain IP address. Otherwise, the
request is issued to the dynamic DNS name of the Virtual Connect Ethernet module. The certificate, by

default, requests a valid duration of 10 years (this value is currently not configurable).
Note that a new certificate request is generated each time this web page is visited, so the content may not be

the same each time.

Certificate Upload

There are two methods for uploading certificates for use in the Virtual Connect Ethernet module:

Paste the certificate contents into the text field, and then click Upload.

Paste the URL of the certificate into the URL field, and then click Apply.
