Install certificates on the Web server
Install an SSL certificate and its matching CA certificate into a folder on the Web server
hosting the remote login page. The login application and the controller access the certificates
from this location.
The SSL certificate is used by the login application to secure communications with the
controller.
Define attributes
Add the following attributes to the Configured attributes table on the Public access >
Attributes page. (You can also define these attributes in the RADIUS profile for the
controller if you are using a RADIUS server.) This enables it to retrieve the SSL and CA
certificates from the Web server:
ssl-noc-certificate=URL_of_the_Certificate
Certificate issued to the application on the Web server that sends user info to the controller
for authentication.
ssl-noc-ca-certificate=URL_of_the_certificate
Certificate of the certificate authority (CA) that issued the NOC certificate.
ssl-certificate=URL_of_the_certificate
Custom certificate installed on the controller.
Install a certificate on controller
Note
This step is optional, but recommended.
Install an SSL certificate on the controller to replace its default SSL certificate. This
certificate is used to secure communications between the controller and the login application
on the Web server.
If you do not change the default certificate on the controller, the login application may not be
able to validate the controller certificate when establishing the SSL connection. The reason
for this is because the default certificate is self-signed and is not trusted by any well-known
CA.
This can be done by adding an additional attribute to the Configured attributes table on the
Public access > Attributes page. (You can also define this attribute in the RADIUS profile
for the controller if you are using a RADIUS server.).
ssl-certificate=URL_of_the_certificate
