6. Type 1 to select Certificate Name and enter a name for the certificate.
This is the name for the certificate as it will appear in the certificate
database list. You can enter up to 24 alphanumeric characters.
Spaces are allowed. No extension is needed.
You might want to include in the name the filename of the
certificate in the file system. This will make it easier for you to
match a certificate in the database with its corresponding file in
the file system. Here is an example:
Switch 12 - sw12.cer
7. Type 2 to set the certificate state. Possible settings are:
Trusted - This value indicates you have verified that the certificate
is from a trusted CA. This is the default.
Untrusted - This value indicates the certificate is from an
untrusted CA either because you have not verified the CA or you
have verified the CA is untrusted.
Note
This parameter has no affect on the operation of a certificate. The
parameter is included only for informational purposes when the
certificate is displayed in the certificate database.
8. Type 3 to specify the type of certificate. There are 3 types to choose
from:
EE - Indicates the certificate was issued by a public or private CA.
This is the default.
CA - Indicates the certificate belongs to a public or private CA.
Self - This value is a self-signed certificate. Use this value for a self-
signed certificate. The switch treats this type of certificate as its
own.
Note
This parameter has no affect on the operation of a certificate. The
parameter is included only for informational purposes when the
certificate is displayed in the certificate database.
9. Type 4 to select File Name and specify the filename of the certificate.
This is the filename of the certificate in the AT-S62 file system, with
the “.cer” extension. For example, if you created a self-signed
certificate and gave it the name “webserver127”, the filename of
the certificate would be “webserver127.cer”. If you have forgotten
the filename of the certificate, refer to Displaying System Files on
page 172.
