About Certificates
The access point needs a server certificate:
‰ if you want to use the secure web browser interface (HTTPS).
‰ if this access point is an authentication server in your 802.1x-
enabled network.
The certificate encrypts communication between the internal RADIUS
server, RADIUS clients, and the supplicants and HTTPS clients. If you are
configuring another access point as a backup RADIUS server, you should
also install a unique certificate on it. Server certificates can be in either
PKCS12 (*.P12/*.PFX) or *.PEM format.
If the access point supports clients running the TLS authentication type,
it also needs a trusted certificate authority (CA) certificate. Trusted CA
certificates can be in *.PEM format or *.CER format. They can contain
several trusted CAs, but should be kept to a maximum file size of 2K.

Install a
Certificate
