Wi-Fi Array
Configuring the Wi-Fi Array 227
start your browser’s Certificate Install Wizard. We recommend that
you use this process to install Xirrus as a root authority in your
browser.
When you assign a Host Name to your Array using the Express
Setup window, then the next time you reboot the Array it
automatically creates a security certificate for that host name. That
certificate uses Xirrus as the signing authority. Thus, in order to avoid
having certificate errors on your browser when using WMI:
• You must have assigned a host name to the Array and rebooted at
some time after that.
• Use Import Xirrus Authority into Browser
• Access WMI by using the host name of the Array rather than its
IP address.

signing authority for the current certificate.
8. External Certification Authority
This Step and Step 9 allow you to obtain a certificate from an external
authority and install it on an Array. “Using an External Certificate
Authority” on page 215 discusses reasons for using an external CA.
For example, to obtain and install a certificate from VeriSign on the Array,
follow these steps:
• If you don’t already have the certificate from the external (non-
Xirrus) Certificate Authority, see Step 9 to create a request for a
certificate.
• Use Step 8a to review the request and copy its text to send to
Ver iSi gn .
• When you receive the new certificate from VeriSign, upload it to the
Array using Step 8b.
External Certification Authority has the following fields:
