Import SSL Secure Certificate
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a protocol for encrypted communication
between web servers and browsers for secure data transfer. For example, if you
set up a secure website to handle ecommerce transactions and you do not want
users to receive an “unknown certificate” pop-up message from their web
browser. You can generate a certificate, get it signed by a Certificate Authority,
and import it into the NAS using the steps described in the procedure below.
From the
Administration > Security > Import SSL Secure Certificate
window, you
can use the system default certificate or upload a secure certificate issued by a
trusted provider. After you have uploaded a secure certificate, you can access the
administration interface by SSL connection. The system supports X.509
certificate and private key only.
NOTE
If you import an incorrect secure certificate, you may not be able to log into the NAS
via SSL. To resolve the problem, you can restore the SSL certificate to default and
access the system again.
To import an SSL secure certificate:
STEP 1
Click
Administration > Security > Import SSL Secure Certificate
from the
Navigation menu. The
Import SSL Secure Certificate
window opens.
STEP 2
Click
View sample
to view a sample certificate or private key.
STEP 3
Enter the certificate and private key information in the applicable fields.
