Handling Certificates
Managing SM Certificates via the SM GUI
The default public Canopy certificates are loaded into SMs upon factory software installation. The
default certificates are not secure and are intended for
use
during lab and field trials as part of
gaining experience with the RADIUS functionalities or as
an
option during debug. For secure
operation, an operator will want to create or procure their
own
certificates.
