4.3.2 Creating Self Certificates for Accessing the VPN
The access point requires two kinds of certificates for accessing the VPN, CA certificates and self
certificates. Self certificates are certificate requests you create, send to a Certificate Authority (CA)
to be signed, then import the signed certificate into the management system.
To create a self certificate:
1. Select System Configuration -> Certificate Mgmt -> Self Certificates from the access
point menu tree.
CAUTION Self certificates can only be generated using the access point GUI and
CLI interfaces. No functionality exists for creating a self-certificate
using the access point’s SNMP configuration option.
