Creating a Self-Signed Certificate
When appropriate certificate and key files for the EMX device are
unavailable, the alternative, other than submitting a CSR to the CA, is to
generate a self-signed certificate.
Note that you must enter information in the fields showing the message
'required.'
To create and install a self-signed certificate:
1. Choose Device Settings > Security > SSL Certificate.
2. Enter information.
Field Description
Country The country where your company is located. Use the standard ISO
country code. For a list of ISO codes, visit the
ISO website
(
).
State or Province The full name of the state or province where your company is located.
Locality The city where your company is located.
Organization The registered name of your company.
Organizational Unit The name of your department.
Common Name The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your EMX device.
Email Address An email address where you or another administrative user can be
reached.
Key Length Select an available key length (bits). A larger key length enhances the
security, but slows down the EMX device's response.

Only 2048 is available now.
Self Sign Ensure this checkbox is selected, which indicates that you are
creating a self-signed certificate.
Validity in days This field appears after the Self Sign checkbox is selected.
Type the number of days for which the self-signed certificate will be
valid.
A password is not required for a self-signed certificate so the
Challenge and Confirm Challenge fields disappear.
3. Click Create New SSL Key to create both the self-signed certificate
and private key. This may take several minutes to complete.
