Self-Signed Certificate Expiration
Certificate expires. The default is 7200.
You are required to select a signature algorithm, a private key passphrase
of at least 4 characters, a private key bit length, and the Certificate expir-
ation in days. The remaining fields are optional.
It is recommended that you consult your Certificate Authority for the
required fields in an X 509-Certificate request. Safran recommends all fields
be filled out and match the information given to your Certificate Authority.
For example, use all abbreviations, spellings, URLs, and company depart-
ments recognized by the Certificate Authority. This helps to avoid prob-
lems the Certificate Authority might otherwise have reconciling Certificate
request and company record information.
If necessary, consult your web browser vendor's documentation and Cer-
tificate Authority to see which key bit lengths and signature algorithms
your web browser supports.
Safran recommends that when completing the Common Name field, the
user provide a static IP address, because DHCP-generated IP addresses can
change. If the hostname or IP address changes, the X.509 Certificate must
be regenerated.
It is recommended that the RSA Private Key Bit Length be a power of 2 or
multiple of 2. The key bit length chosen is typically 1024, but can range from
512 to 4096. Long key bit lengths of up to 4096 are not recommended
