Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates
Extron control processors and expansion interfaces ship with factory-installed SSL
certificates created by Extron. If you want or are required to use a different SSL certificate at
your installation site, then you can use system utilities in the Toolbelt software to change the
SSL certificate at any time. The
Toolbelt Help File
provides instructions on how to apply an
SSL certificate to a control processor.
NOTES:
•
You must run Toolbelt as an administrator.
•
Some certificates require a passphrase that is created when the certificate is
created. If a passphrase is required, you must enter that passphrase before
uploading and applying the certificate.
Control system expansion interfaces and controllers support standard OpenSSL certificate
encodings such as .pem (Privacy-enhanced Electronic Mail) and .der (Distinguished
Encoding Rules) file types. PEM file types are ASCII encoded and are the required format for
uploading to the control processor. DER file types are binary encoded and can typically have
several file extension variations, such as .crt and .cer. There are many standard tools that
can convert from DER to PEM file encodings if needed.
NOTE:
A DER format file must be converted to PEM encoding before uploading it to the
control processor.
To properly create the certificate for uploading to Extron expansion interfaces and control
processors, ensure that the certificate file meets the following requirements:
•
Contains X.509 certificate information
•
Contains public and private keys
•
Uses PEM encoding
NOTE:
ITU-T standard X.509 covers aspects of public key encryption, digital
cryptography, certificates, and validation.
Contact your IT administrator for more information on what tools and policies are required to
obtain or create the SSL certificate and, if necessary, the corresponding passphrase.
