10.3 Authentication Certificates
Advanced > Certificates
This gateway uses digital certificates for IPsec VPN authentication as well as SSL
validation (for HTTPS and SSL VPN authentication). You can obtain a digital
certificate from a well-known Certificate Authority (CA) such as VeriSign, or generate
and sign your own certificate using functionality available on this gateway. The
gateway comes with a self-signed certificate, and this can be replaced by one signed by
a CA as per your networking requirements. A CA certif icate provides strong assurance
of the server's identity and is a requirement for most corporate network VPN solutions.
The certificates menu allows you to view a list of certificates (both from a CA and self -
signed) currently loaded on the gateway. The following certificate data is displayed in
the list of Trusted (CA) certificates:
CA Identity (Subject Name): The certificate is issued to this person or organization
Issuer Name: This is the CA name that issued this certificate
Expiry Time: The date after which this Trusted certificate becomes invalid
