CA Settings Descriptions
Password Specify a password with a minimum length of five characters. To
confirm, re-enter it in the next field.
Key Length (bit) Select the key length of minimum value of 512 and a maximum
value of 2048. iFolder supports only 512, 1024 and 2048 as the key
length.
Valid Period (days) The Valid Period in the case of a CA defaults to 3650 days (roughly
ten years). This long period makes sense because the replacement
of a deleted CA involves an enormous administrative effort.
Advanced Options Advanced Options are very special options.
WARNING: If you change these options, iFolder cannot guarantee
that the generated certificate works correctly. Clicking Advanced
Options opens a dialog for setting different attributes from the X.509
extensions. These values have rational default settings and should
only be changed if you are really sure of what you are doing.
