Managing SSL Certificates
Managing SSL Certificates
To use HTTPS services, the WAP device must have a valid SSL certificate. The WAP device
can generate a certificate or you can download it from your network or from a TFTP server.
To generate the certificate with the WAP device, click Generate SSL Certificate. This should
be done after the WAP device has acquired an IP address to ensure that the common name for
the certificate matches the IP address of the WAP device. Generating a new SSL certificate
restarts the secure web server. The secure connection does not work until the new certificate is
accepted on the browser.
In the Certificate File Status area, you can view whether a certificate currently exists on the
WAP device, and view this information about it:
•
Certificate File Present
•
Certificate Expiration Date
