Switch Security 6-75
Server Certificates are issued to Web Servers and used to authenticate Web Servers to Web browsers while
establishing a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection.
The Server Certificates screen contains the following two tabs:
• Using Trustpoints to Configure Certificates
• Configuring Trustpoint Associated Keys
6.10.1 Using Trustpoints to Configure Certificates
Each certificate is digitally signed by a trustpoint. The trustpoint signing the certificate can be a certificate
authority, corporation or an individual. A trustpoint represents a CA/identity pair and contains the identity of
the CA, CA-specific configuration parameters, and an association with one enrolled identity certificate.
To view current certificates values:
1. Select Security > Server Certificates from the main menu tree.
2. Select the Trustpoints tab.
A panel (on the far left of the screen) displays the currently enrolled trustpoints.
The Server Certificate and CA Root Certificate tabs display read-only credentials for the certificates
currently in use by the switch. A table displays the following Issued To and Issued By details for each
:
Issued To
Country (C) Displays the country of usage for which the certificate was assigned.
State (ST) Displays the state (if within the US) or province within the country listed above wherein the
certificate was issued.
City (L) Lists the city wherein the server certificate request was made. The city should obviously be
within the State/Prov stated.
Organization (O) Displays the name of the organization making the certificate request.
