This field displays for a cert ificat e, not a cert ificat ion request .
Click t he Re fr e sh but t on t o have t his read- only t ext box display t he hierarchy
of cert ificat ion aut horit ies t hat validat e t he cert ificat e ( and t he cert ificat e
it self ) .
I f t he issuing cert ificat ion aut horit y is one t hat you have im port ed as a t rust ed
cert ificat ion aut horit y, it m ay be t he only cert ificat ion aut horit y in t he list
( along wit h t he cert ificat e it self ) . I f t he cert ificat e is a self- signed cert ificat e,
t he cert ificat e it self is t he only one in t he list . The device does not t rust t he
cert ificat e and displays " Not t rust ed" in t his field if any cert ificat e on t he pat h
has expired or been revoked.
Click Re fr e sh t o display t he cert ificat ion pat h.
These read- only fields display det ailed inform at ion about t he cert ificat e.
This field displays general inform at ion about t he cert ificat e. CA- signed m eans
t hat a Cert ificat ion Aut horit y signed t he cert ificat e. Self- signed m eans t hat t he
cert ificat e's owner signed t he cert ificat e ( not a cert ificat ion aut horit y) .
" X.509" m eans t hat t his cert ificat e was creat ed and signed according t o t he
I TU-T X.509 recom m endat ion t hat defines t he form at s for public- key
cert ificat es.
This field displays t he X.509 version num ber. "
This field displays t he cert ificat e's ident ificat ion num ber given by t he
cert ificat ion aut horit y or generat ed by t he device.
This field displays inform at ion t hat ident ifies t he owner of t he cert ificat e, such
as Com m on Nam e ( CN) , Organizat ional Unit ( OU) , Organizat ion ( O) , St at e
( ST) , and Count ry ( C) .
This field displays ident ifying inform at ion about t he cert ificat e's issuing
cert ificat ion aut horit y, such as Com m on Nam e, Organizat ional Unit ,
