STEP 4: INSTALLING A NEW SSL CERTIFICATE
Use this procedure to replace the SSL certificate that ships with the LPS-20x with one of your own. This certificate is
used when validating user logins to the management tool via SSL.
Before you can install a new SSL certificate, make sure that it conforms to the following:
• It must be in PKCS #12 format. Refer to Step 3: Converting a Certificate to PKCS #12 Format on page
156 for
instructions on how to do this.
• It must contain a private key. (The password is used to access the private key.)
• It must not have a name that is an IP address. The name should be a domain name containing at least
one dot. If you try to add a certificate with an invalid name, the default certificate is restored.
• It must contain the entire certificate chain if signed by an intermediate certificate authority.
• It must not have a “_” in its name.
The name in the certificate is automatically assigned as the domain name of the LPS-20x. The default certificate has
the name wireless.adc.com.
