Basic Operation and Configuration
LAN Settings > IEEE 802.1X Security
The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks. The standard
provides an authentication framework, allowing a user to be authenticated by a central authority. The
F
-
Series ID supports authentication using Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
Notes
Configure IEEE 802.1x authentication using TLS
Step 1
On the
LAN Settings
page, scroll down
to
802.1X Security
.
Step 2
Select the
Use 802.1x security
checkbox.
Step 3
From the
Authentication
drop-down
menu, select
TLS
.
Step 4
In the
Identity
text box, enter the name
associated with the client certificate.
Step 5
If uploading a PKCS #8 certificate file,
use the
Browse
and
Upload
buttons to
upload the associated
CA Certificate
from the server provided by the network
administrator.
If uploading a PKCS #12 certificate file,
you do not need to upload a CA
Certificate.
Step 6
Use the
Browse
and
Upload
buttons to upload the
Client Certificate
from the server
provided by the network administrator.
Step 7
Using the
Browse
and
Upload
buttons, upload the
Private Key
and
Private Key
Password
associated with the identity. The
Private Key Password
field can be left blank
if a password is not required.
If uploading a PKCS #8 file, the private key must be a valid PKCS #8 file.
If uploading a PKCS #12 file, the private key must be a valid PKCS #12 file.
Certificates and keys must be in PEM format. Common file extensions for TLS files in PEM format
are:
•
For certificate and public key files:
*.crt, *.cer, *.cert, *.pem
•
For private key files:
*.key
The camera must be connected to a switch or other device on the network that supports
IEEE 802.1x.
The camera also supports TLS for communication with clients outside the LAN, such as
web browsers. For information about enabling and configuring TLS for communication
outside the LAN, see
