Managing Certificates and Revocation
If your organization requires a secure environment, Polycom recommends
that you have a strong understanding of certificate management before you
implement these features.
Polycom HDX systems can generate and use certificates to authenticate
network connections to and from the Polycom HDX system. Other web
applications can also generate certificates, as you might notice when you
navigate the Internet. The system uses configuration and management
techniques typical of public-key infrastructure (PKI) to manage certificates,
certificate signing requests (CSRs, sometimes also called unsigned
certificates), and revocation lists. ANSI X.509 standards regulate the
characteristics of certificates and revocation.
