  • Page 206: Generating Certificate Signing Requests (Csrs)

    PKI and so signed certificates must be used. The following sections describe how to generate and use certificates by using the Polycom HDX web interface. Generating Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) The HDX system allows you to install one client and one server certificate for identification of the HDX system to network peers.

    If you do not add a signed server certificate for the HDX system, you might receive error messages from your browser stating that the security certificate for the web site “Polycom” cannot be verified. Most browsers allow the user to proceed after this warning is displayed. See the Help section of your browser for instructions about how to do this.

    A certificate exchange is between a server and a client, both of which are peers. When a user is accessing the Polycom HDX web interface , the HDX system is the server and the web browser is the client application. In other situations, such as when the HDX system connects to LDAP directory services, the HDX system is the client and the LDAP directory server is the server.
