Figure 68: Create a CA certificate request.  

2.

 

Copy  the  X.509  certificate  request  from  the  Web  page  as  shown  in  Figure  69  and 
follow up with the instructions provided by the certification authority. 

 

Figure 69: Copy and paste for the X.509 certificate request. 

3.

 

Order the certificate.  The L-IP requires the certificate to be encoded in PEM format in 
order to be pasted easily. 

4.

 

After receiving the certificate, copy  it to the clipboard or a text file. It should look like 
this: 

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- 
MIICyjCCAjOgAwIQEBBQUAMH4xCzAJBgNV… 
… more data follows … 
-----END CERTIFICATE----- 

5.

 

On the tab 

Create Certificate

 paste the information to the 

Certificate Request Reply

 

text area as shown in Figure 69 and click 

Verify & Install

. 

6.

 

After next reboot, the server uses the imported certificate, so that the web browsers will 
indicate the page as trustworthy. 

7.

 

Note  that  SSL  certificates  have  a  lifelime,  typically  1  or  2  years.  You  need  to  repeat 
these steps to renew your certificates before they expire.
