13.10 Verifying a Trusted Remote Host's Certificate

Self-signed certificates only have the signature of the host itself. You should be very careful
about importing (and thereby trusting) a remote host's self-signed certificate. You can follow
these steps to check that you have the remote host's actual certificate.
1 Open Windows Explorer.
2 Find the certificate, and double-click on it. The Certificate window appears.
3 Click the Details tab.
4 Scroll down to the Thumbprint Algorithm and Thumbprint fields.

Figure 104 Certificate Details

Verify (over the phone, for example) that the remote host has the same information in the
Thumbprint Algorithm and Thumbprint fields.

13.11 Import Trusted Remote Host Screen

Before you import a certificate, see
Use this screen to add the certificate of a trusted host to the ZyXEL Device. To open this
screen, click Import in Security > Certificates > Trusted Remote Hosts.
Note: The trusted remote host certificate must be a self-signed certificate, and you
must remove any spaces from its file name before you can import it.
