Requirements for Using the Certificate Manager

Requirements for the Certificate Manager

You must obtain or create a root certificate before you can create server or client 
certificates. You only need to create one root certificate for your site. 

If your application uses protocols such as EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP etc. you will need a 
Root certificate and a Server certificate. Follow steps 1 and 2 below. 

If you will be using EAP-TLS, you will need Root certificate, a Server certificate and one 
or more Client certificates. Follow the procedures defined in the next section, 

“Procedures 

for Creating Certificates”

. 

Important!

The ncert utility saves all certificate files in the 8950 AAA run directory.
