Managing SSL Certificates
To use HTTPS services, the WAP device must have a valid SSL certificate. The WAP device
can generate a certificate or you can download it from your network or from a TFTP server.
To generate the certificate with the WAP device, click Generate SSL Certificate. This should
be done after the AP has acquired an IP address to ensure that the common name for the
certificate matches the IP address of the AP. Generating a new SSL certificate restarts the
secure web server. The secure connection does not work until the new certificate is accepted
on the browser.
In the Certificate File Status area, you can view whether a certificate currently exists on the
WAP device, and view this information about it:
• Certificate File Present
• Certificate Expiration Date
• Certificate Issuer Common Name
If an SSL certificate (with a .pem extension) exists on the WAP device, you can download it to
your computer as a backup. In the Download SSL Certificate (From Device to PC) area, select
HTTP or TFTP for the Download Method and click Download.
• If you select HTTP, you are prompted to confirm the download and then to browse to
the location to save the file on your network.
• If you select TFTP, additional fields appear to enable you to enter the File Name to
assign to the downloaded file, and enter the TFTP server address where the file will be
downloaded.
You can also upload a certificate file (with a .pem extension) from your computer to the WAP
device. In the Upload SSL Certificate (From PC to Device) area, select HTTP or TFTP for the
Upload Method.
• For HTTP, browse to the network location, select the file, and click Upload.
• For TFTP, enter the File Name as it exists on the TFTP server and the TFTP Server
IPv4 Address, then click Upload. The filename cannot contain the following
characters: spaces, <, >, |, \, : , (, ), &, ; , #, ? , *, and two or more successive periods.
A confirmation appears when the upload was successful.
