ID Certificate
Use SECURITY > IPSec Certificates > ID Certificate to navigate to this page.
This page summarizes existing network ID certificates by ID certificate name and valid period. An ID
certificate can used by web server operators to ensure secure server operation.
Caution Each certificate has a variable-length embedded RSA Key. The RSA key length varies from512 bits,
which is relatively insecure, to thousands of bits, which is very secure. When you are obtaining a new
certificate from a Certificate Authority (such as the Microsoft CA), MAKE SURE the RSA key
embedded in the certificate is AT LEAST 768 Bits.
Command Buttons
