SMART CAT5 SWITCH 16 IP
You can generate and install a new certificate unique to a particular card. Smart
16 IP can generate a new cryptographic key and the associated Certificate Signing
Request that needs to be certified by a certification authority (CA). A CA verifies
you are who you claim to be and signs and issues a SSL certificate to you.
To create and install a Smart 16 IP SSL certificate:
1. From the Security Settings page choose Create your own SSL certificate.
The window appears as in Figure 26.
Figure 26 CSR
2. Fill in the fields:
Common name - Network name of Smart 16 IP once installed in the user's
network. It is identical to the name that is used to access the card with a Web
browser. In case the name given here and the actual network name differ, the
browser will pop up a security warning when the card is accessed over HTTPS.
Organizational unit - Specifies which department within an organization Smart
16 IP belongs.
Organization/Locality/City/State/Province - Organization to which Smart 16 IP
belongs + location.
Country - Use the 2 letter ISO code, e.g. DE for Germany.
Challenge Password/Confirm- Some certification authorities require a challenge
password to authorize later changes on the certificate. The minimum is 4
characters.
Email - Of a security contact person that is responsible for Smart 16 IP.
Key length - Length of the generated key in bits. 1024 Bits are supposed be
sufficient for most cases. Larger keys may result in slower response time during
the connection.
