Configure Certificate Validation Settings - Polycom RealPresence Group Series Administrator's Manual

Configure the CRL Method
Enable PKI Certificates
If your system is provisioned by RealPresence Resource Manager and you plan to use PKI certificates,
you must configure the Host Name setting.
Procedure
1. On the system web interface, go to Admin Settings > Network > LAN Properties > LAN
Options.
2. At Host Name, use the same name that the RealPresence Resource Manager uses to provision
the system.
This name must be the same so that certificate signing requests (CSRs) generated during
certificate installation have the correct host name information.

Certificates are authorized externally when they are signed by the CA. The certificates can be
automatically validated when they are used to establish an authenticated network connection. To perform
this validation, the system must have certificates installed for all CAs that are part of the trust chain. A
trust chain is the hierarchy of CAs that have issued certificates from the device being authenticated,
through the intermediate CAs that have issued certificates to the various CAs, leading back to a root CA,
which is a known trusted CA. The following sections describe how to install and manage these
certificates.
A certificate exchange is between a server and a client, both of which are peers. When a user accesses
the system web interface, the system is the server and the web browser is the client application. In other
situations, such as when the system connects to LDAP directory services, the system is the client and the
LDAP directory server is the server.
Procedure
1. In the system web interface, go to Admin Settings > Security > Certificates > Certificate
Options.
2. Configure these settings on the Certificates screen and click Save.
