SSL Certificate
SSL certificates are generated for DNS host names and not IP addresses. You should set a host
name for the SP+ unit in your local DNS server or DHCP server, and then generate the SSL
certificate for that host name.
Example:
spplus.mycompany.org
The unit’s DNS host name is “spplus”. Wildcard SSL certificates should also work, but this hasn’t
been tested.
If the name doesn’t match with the one in the certificate, the browser will still show a security warning.
You can purchase a certificate from a trusted, verified Certificate Authority such as GoDaddy or use
your company’s own CA if you have one.
Please note that only non-password protected certificate files are supported.
When you select the file for uploading, you’ll get a warning if the file is not in .PEM format:
