X.509 Certificate
This method is supported by most newer IPSec
implementations. The SINAUT MD740-1 encrypts the
authentication datagrams that it sends to the remote site -
the "end of the tunnel" - with the remote site's public key (file
name *.cer or *.pem). (You received this *.cer or *.pem file
from the operator of the remote site, e.g. on a disk or by e-
mail).
To make this public key available to the
SINAUT MD740-1, proceed as follows:
Prerequisite:
You have stored the *.cer or *.pem file on the locally
connected computer.
