3. In the Subject Name field, enter the DNS name and click Generate CSR. A textual
certificate signing request, that contains the SSL device identifier, is displayed.
4. Copy this text and send it to your security provider; the security provider (also known
as Certification Authority or CA) signs this request and send you a server certificate for
the device.
5. Save the certificate in a file (e.g., cert.txt). Ensure the file is a plain-text file with the
‘BEGIN CERTIFICATE’ header. The figure below is an example of a Base64-Encoded
X.509 Certificate.

6. Before continuing, set the parameter HTTPSOnly = 0 to ensure you have a method of
accessing the device in case the new certificate doesn’t work. Restore the previous
setting after testing the configuration.
7. In the Certificates screen (Figure 12-9) locate the server certificate loading section.
8. Click Browse and navigate to the cert.txt file, click Send File.
9. When the operation is completed, save the configuration (Section 5.10.2 on page 205)
and restart the MediaPack; the Embedded Web Server uses the provided certificate.
Notes:
• The certificate replacement process can be repeated when
necessary (e.g., the new certificate expires).
• It is possible to use the IP address of the MediaPack (e.g., 10.3.3.1)
instead of a qualified DNS name in the Subject Name. This practice
is not recommended since the IP address is subject to changes and
may not uniquely identify the device.
• The server certificate can also be loaded via ini file using the
parameter ‘HTTPSCertFileName’.
