SSL server authentication

Certificate options
Select an installation mode of the certificate.
Use an external certificate: Uses the certificate
including private key information issued by a CA.
The PKCS#12 and PEM formats are supported.
Note
SSL is not available when Certificate options-Use an
external certificate is selected, or certificate and private
key password is not set properly even SSL is set to
"Enable".
Use a self-signed certificate (For test use): This mode
uses the certificate and private key pair generated by
"Self-signed certificate generation" on page 35.
Private key information corresponding to the
certificate is stored in the camera.
You do not need to install an external certificate.
However, you cannot execute the existence proof that
is one of the SSL functions for the following reasons.
– The private key generated in the camera is self-
signed by the camera.
– A prepared value is set for a distinguished name
(Common name, etc).
– The certificate is not issued by a trusted CA.
For reasons of security, we recommend using this
mode only when there is no problem even if perfect
security is not saved.
Notes
• When Use a self-signed certificate (For test use) is
selected, the Security Alert dialog appears on the
SSL connection with a browser.
For details, refer to "Using the SSL function"
(page 6).
• SSL connection may be impossible due to the type of
certificate installed in the camera. In this case, refer to
"How to install the CA certificate" on page 37 and
install.
