Managing the video system's
certificates
Certificate validation may be required when using TLS
(Transport Layer Security).
A server or client may require that your video system
presents a valid certificate to them before communication can
be set up.
The video system's certificates are text files that verify the
authenticity of the system. These certificates may be issued
by a certificate authority (CA).
The certificate are listed as shown in the illustration to the
right . They can be used for the following services: HTTPS,
*
SIP and IEEE 802.1X.
You can store several certificates on the system, but only one
certificate can be used for each service at a time.
If authentication fails, the connection will not be established.
* The certificates and certificate issuers shown in the illustration
serve as examples. Your system may have other certificate(s).
