Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates
Extron control processors ship with factory-installed SSL certificates created by Extron. If
the installation site requires a different SSL certificate, 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. Machine certificates require a private key
file, which can be encrypted.
The SMD 101 supports 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 SMD products, 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.
