Besides the purchased SSL certificates, there are also self-signed certificates which do not cost anything.
Self signed certificates work just as well as purchased ones but they are missing the authorization of the
third party. Self signed SSL certificates mainly guarantee the protection of your data when sending it over the
internet. You will know that a self signed certificate is used when you see an authentication warning in the
browser window when accessing the page which has to be accepted before the web site opens. Such a self
signed certificate is the default that comes with the GR10 web site. The URL of the web site is not verified
(as this is different for every receiver) and the certificate is self signed by Leica Geosystems AG.
How do I install my SSL certificate and key?
When you have created an SSL key and an SSL certificate you will have two files that can be opened with a
text editor such as note pad.
1.
Open the SSL certificate (CRT file) and copy the text into the SSL certificate window on
the Receiver setup / Web server page on your receivers web interface.
2.
Open the key file in the same way and copy / paste the text into the SSL key window on
the same page.
3.
Store the settings.
4.
Your certificate should now be installed. Activate the HTTPS settings and re-open the
web interface. It should open as an HTTPS secure site. Click on the icon in the
browser and check the certificate information.
Mozilla Firefox does not support the use of certain ports. Use a different internet browser if these
ports need to be used. Ports blocked by default in Mozilla Firefox browser .
