Managing the list of trusted
certificate authorities
Certificate validation may be required when using TLS
(Transport Layer Security).
Your video system may be set up to require that a server
or client presents its certificate to the system before
communication can be set up.
The certificates are text files that verify the authenticity of the
server or client. The certificates must be signed by a trusted
certificate authority (CA).
To be able to verify the signature of the certificates, a list of
trusted CAs must reside on the video system. The certificates
of the CAs are listed as shown in the illustration to the right
The list must include CAs to verify certificates for as well
HTTPS, SIP and IEEE 802.1X connections.
If the server cannot be authenticated, the connection will not
be established.
* The certificate and certificate issuers shown in the illustration serve
as examples. Your system will have other certificate(s).
