Generate an SSL certificate

You can generate up to two self-signed SSL certificates for HTTPS communication.

NOTE: Before you can generate a certificate, you must disable HTTPS (see
Configure the HTTPS access settings on page 661) and log back in to the device
UI over an HTTP session. After you generate the certificate, you can reenable
HTTPS and log back in to the device UI over an HTTPS session.

To generate an SSL certificate:

1. Launch a web browser.

2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Log in to the main UI with a web
browser
on page 27 and the subsections.

The login page displays.

3. Click the Main UI Login button.

The main UI login page displays in a new tab.

4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login

button.

The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.

The System Information page displays.

5. Select Security > Access > HTTPS > Certificate Management.

The Certificate Management page displays.

6. From the Certificate Number menu, select the certificate, that is, select 1 or 2.

Your selection determines if the first or second certificate is generated.

7. Select the Generate Certificates radio button.

8. Click the Apply button.

The switch generates an SSL certificate.

generating a certificate.
