Managing Certificates
Use the Manage Certificates dialog to add, remove and manage certificates used in 802.1x and
other protected networks.
Click Manage Certificates in the Actions drop-down menu. The following certificate tabs are
displayed:
l
Root: The Root certificate is used by the AV switchers to validate the network's
authentication server. The AV switchers have a variety of Root certificates, self-signed by
trusted CAs (Certificate Authorities), preloaded into the device. Root certificates must be
self-signed.
l
Intermediate: The Intermediate store holds non self-signed certificates that are used to
validate the authentication server. These certificates will be provided by the network
administrator if the network does not use self-signed Root certificates.
l
Machine: The machine certificate is an encrypted PFX file that is used by the
authentication server to validate the identity of the AV switchers. The machine certificate
will be provided by the network administrator, along with the certificate password. For
802.1x, only one machine certificate can reside on the device.
l
Web Server: The Web Server certificate is a digital file that contains information about
the identity of the web server.
