Field Type this information
Key Length Select the key length (bits) from the drop-down list in this field. A
larger key length enhances the security, but slows down the EMX
device's response.
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.
Note: All fields in the Subject section are mandatory, except for the
Organization, Organizational Unit and Email Address fields.
A password is not required for a self-signed certificate so the
Challenge and Confirm Challenge fields disappear after the Self Sign
checkbox is selected.
4. Click Create New SSL Key to create both the self-signed certificate
and private key. This may take several minutes to complete.

click the Active SSL Certificate tab.
 To download the self-signed certificate or private key, click
Download Certificate or Download Key. You are prompted to
open or save the file. Click Save to save it onto your computer.
 To remove the self-signed certificate and private key permanently
from the EMX device, click "Delete Key and Certificate".
