Certificate
Figure 5-23 Certificate Settings
The IP-KVM uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol for any encrypted network traffic
between itself and a connected client. During the connection establishment the IP-KVM has to
expose its identity to a client using a cryptographic certificate. The default certificate comes
with IP-KVM device upon delivery is for testing purpose only. System administrator should
not rely on this default certificate as the secured global access mechanism through Internet.
However, it is possible to generate and install a new base64 X.509 certificate that is unique for
a particular IP-KVM. In order to do that, the IP-KVM is able to generate a new cryptographic
key and the associated Certificate Signing Request (CSR) that needs to be certified by a
certification authority (CA). A certification authority verifies that you are the person who you
claim you are, and signs and issues a SSL certificate to you.
The following steps are necessary to create and install a SSL certificate for the IP-KVM:
• Create a SSL Certificate Signing Request using the panel shown in Figure. You need to fill
out a number of fields that are explained below. Once this is done, click on the button
“Create” which will initiate the Certificate Signing Request generation. The CSR can be
downloaded to your administration machine with the “Download CSR” button.
