Label Description
Name This field displays the identifying name of this certificate. If you want to
change the name, type up to 31 characters to identify this certificate.
You can use any character (not including spaces).
Property
Default
self-signed
certificate that
signs the
imported remote
host certificates.
Select this check box to have the Business Secure Router use this
certificate to sign the trusted remote host certificates that you import to
the Business Secure Router. This check box is only available with
self-signed certificates.
If this check box is already selected, you cannot clear it in this screen,
you must select this check box in the details screen of another
self-signed certificate. This automatically clears the check box in the
details screen of the certificate that was previously set to sign the
imported trusted remote host certificates.
Certification Path Click the Refresh button to have this read-only text box display the
hierarchy of certification authorities that validate the certificate (and
the certificate itself).
If the issuing certification authority is one that you have imported as a
trusted certification authority, it can be the only certification authority in
the list (along with the certificate itself). If the certificate is a self-signed
certificate, the certificate itself is the only one in the list. The Business
Secure Router does not trust the certificate and displays “Not trusted”
in this field if any certificate on the path has expired or been revoked.
Refresh Click Refresh to display the certification path.
