Certificate Procedures

Install a Certificate in the DMA System

Polycom, Inc.
When your certificate authority has processed your request, it sends you
a signed public certificate for your Polycom DMA system. Some certificate
authorities also send intermediate certificates and/or root certificates.
Depending on the certificate authority, these certificates may arrive as
email text, email attachments, or be available on a secure web page.
The Polycom DMA system accepts PKCS#7 or PKCS#12 certificate chains
or single certificates.

The procedure below installs the certificate or certificate chain provided by the
certificate authority. It assumes that you've received the certificate or
certificate chain in one of the following forms:
• A PFX, P7B, or single certificate file that you've saved on your computer.
• PEM-format encoded text that you received in an email or on a secure web
page.
Caution
Installing or removing certificates requires a system restart and terminates all active
conferences.
When you install or remove a certificate, the change is made to the certificate store
immediately, but the system can't implement the change until it restarts and reads
the changed certificate store.
For your convenience, you're not required to restart and apply a change
immediately. This permits you to perform multiple installs or removals before
restarting and applying the changes. But when you're finished making changes, you
must select Restart to Apply Saved Changes to restart the system and finish your
update. Before you begin, make sure there are no active conferences and you're
prepared to restart the system when you're finished.
