Installing the Certificate in the System

To install certificates on the Polycom RSS 4000 system:
Install your chosen certificate authority's public certificate, if necessary,
1
so that the Polycom RSS 4000 system trusts that certificate authority.
2 Create a certificate signing request to submit to the certificate authority.
Install a public certificate signed by your certificate authority that
3
identifies the Polycom RSS 4000 system.
The Polycom RSS 4000 system accepts the following types of certificate
chains or single certificates:
Type
.pem
.cer, .crt, .der
.p7b, .p7c
.p12
.pfx
Installing a Certificate Authority's Certificate
You must install a certificate authority's certificate if you don't obtain a
certificate chain that includes a signed certificate for the Polycom RSS 4000
system, your certificate authority's public certificate, and any intermediate
certificates.
The certificate must be either a single X.509 certificate or a PKCS#7 certificate
chain. If it is ASCII text, it's in PEM format, and starts with the text -----BEGIN
CERTIFICATE-----. If it is a file, it can be either PEM or DER encoded.
Description
Privacy Enhanced Mail, base64 encoded DER certificate,
enclosed between "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and
"-----END CERTIFICATE-----".
Usually in binary DER form, but Base64-encoded certificates
are also common (refer to .pem).
PKCS#7 SignedData structure with certificates or CRLs and
without data.
PKCS#12, may contain public certificates and
password-protected private keys.
PFX, predecessor of PKCS#12. This type usually contains
data in PKCS#12 format, for example, with PFX files
generated in IIS.
