DESCRIPTION
Select the Active check box to have the NWA use its internal RADIUS
server to authenticate wireless clients or other APs.
This field displays the certificate index number. The certificates are
listed in alphabetical order. Use the CERTIFICATES screens to manage
certificates. The internal RADIUS server uses one of the certificates
listed in this screen for authentication with each wireless client. The
exact certificate used depends on the certificate information configured
on the wireless client.
This field displays the name used to identify this certificate. It is
recommended that you give each certificate a unique name.
auto_generated_self_signed_cert is the factory default certificate
common to all NWAs that use certificates.
Note: It is recommended that you replace the factory default
certificate with one that uses your NWA's MAC address. Do
this when you first log in to the NWA or in the
CERTIFICATES > My Certificates screen.
This field displays what kind of certificate this is.
REQ represents a certification request and is not yet a valid certificate.
Send a certification request to a certification authority, which then
issues a certificate. Use the My Certificate Import screen to import
the certificate and replace the request.
SELF represents a self-signed certificate.
*SELF represents the default self-signed certificate, which the NWA
uses to sign imported trusted remote host certificates.
CERT represents a certificate issued by a certification authority.
This field displays identifying information about the certificate's owner,
such as CN (Common Name), OU (Organizational Unit or department),
O (Organization or company) and C (Country). It is recommended that
each certificate have unique subject information.
This field displays identifying information about the certificate's issuing
certification authority, such as a common name, organizational unit or
department, organization or company and country. With self-signed
certificates, this is the same information as in the Subject field.
This field displays the date that the certificate becomes applicable. The
text displays in red and includes a Not Yet Valid! message if the
certificate has not yet become applicable.
This field displays the date that the certificate expires. The text displays
in red and includes an Expiring! or Expired! message if the certificate
is about to expire or has already expired.
Click Apply to have the NWA use certificates to authenticate wireless
clients.
Click Reset to start configuring this screen afresh.
