To verify whether the certificate has been installed successfully, check the
data shown in the Active TLS Certificate section.
Creating a Self-Signed Certificate
When appropriate certificate and key files for PX3TS are unavailable, the
alternative, other than submitting a CSR to the CA, is to generate a self-signed
certificate.
Note that you must enter information in the fields showing the message
'required.'
To create and install a self-signed certificate:
1.
Choose Device Settings > Security > TLS Certificate.
2.
Enter information.
Description
The country where your company is located. Use the standard ISO country
code, which comprises two uppercase letters. For a list of ISO codes, google
ISO 3166 country codes.
The full name of the state or province where your company is located.
The city where your company is located.
The registered name of your company.
The name of your department.
The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your PX3TS.
An email address where you or another administrative user can be reached.
Select an available key length (bits). A larger key length enhances the
security, but slows down the response of PX3TS.
▪ Only 2048 is available now.
Ensure this checkbox is selected, which indicates that you are creating a
self-signed certificate.
This field appears after the Self-sign checkbox is selected.
Type the number of days for which the self-signed certificate will be valid.
A password is not required for a self-signed certificate so the Challenge and
Confirm Challenge fields disappear.
3.
Click Create New TLS Key to create both the self-signed certificate and
private key. This may take several minutes to complete.
