Default Device Certificate

Certificates
If the default device certificate is missing for the device it will be generated, together with
a key pair, when the IPBS is upgraded to version R3. The default certificate contains the
MAC address of the device and will be valid for 10 years.
If the self-signed certificate is deleted and the device is restarted, a new certificate and key
pair will be generated.
HTTPS is deactivated during the generation (creation) of the certificate.
The default certificate is a self-signed certificate. This means that certificates cannot be
verified and thus the user/administrator will be prompted by the web browser to accept
the certificate before it can be used. From this point on within the browser session (as long
as the certificate is not changed) communication between the browser and the device is
possible without further accept operations from the user/administrator.
If the device certificate is replaced or regenerated the user/administrator has to manually
accept the new certificate.
