When set to On, the Avaya B179 will activate peer verification for
incoming secure SIP connections (TLS or SIPS).
When set to On, the Avaya B179 rejects incoming secure SIP connec-
tions (TLS or SIPS) if the client does not have a valid certificate.
When the Avaya B179 is acting as a client (outgoing connections) us-
ing secure SIP (TLS or SIPS) it will always receive a certificate from the
peer. If Verify server is set to On, the Avaya B179 closes the connection
if the server certificate is not valid.
Here you can upload a certificate to the Avaya B179 to be used for TLS
or SIPS communication.
A certificate is a file that combines a public key with information
about the owner of the public key, all signed by a trusted third party.
If you trust the third party, then you can be sure that the public key
belongs to the person/organization named in that file. You can also
be sure that everything you decrypt with that public key is encrypted
by the person/organization named in the
certificate.
The public key in the root certificate is used to verify other certificates.
A root certificate is only needed if you have selected client or server
verification.
A root certificate is signed by the same public key that is in the certifi-
cate, a so-called "self-signed" certificate. A typical root certificate is
one received from a Certificate Authority.
Here you can upload a private key to the Avaya B179 to be used for
TLS or SIPS communication.
A private key is one of the keys in a key-pair used in asymmetric
cryptography. Messages encrypted using the public key can only be
decrypted using the private key.
Password used for encryption of the private key, if it is encrypted.
