4.6.4 Certificate
The SP1200A uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol for any encrypted
network traffic between itself and a connected client. During the connection
establishment the SP1200A has to expose its identity to a client using a
cryptographic certificate. The default certificate comes with SP1200A device
upon delivery is for testing purpose only. System administrator should not rely
on this default certificate as the secured global access mechanism through
Internet. However, it is possible to generate and install a new base 64 X.509
certificate that is unique for a particular device. In order to do that, the
SP1200A is able to generate a new cryptographic key and the associated
Certificate Signing Request (CSR) that needs to be certified by a certification
authority (CA). A certification authority verifies that you are the person who you
claim you are, and signs and issues a SSL certificate to you.
The following steps are necessary to create and install a SSL certificate:
¾ Create a SSL Certificate Signing Request. You need to fill out a number
of fields that are explained below. Once this is done, click on the button
<Create> which will initiate the Certificate Signing Request generation.
The CSR can be downloaded to your administration machine with the
<Download> button.
