Install Certificates on Prima IP
You could use the default set of certificates (could be found on CD-ROM) to practice making some
PKI-authenticated connections as long as your network safety is not jeopardized. We advise that it is better to
do the practices within your Local Area Network, which is supposed to be well secured with adequate firewall
and other due precautions against network intrusions. Or if you have already obtained a set of certificates
with the file names and formats required by Prima IP, you can then use them for Prima IP viewer
authentication. However, if you simply use the default set of certificates that comes with Prima IP, anybody
who has a copy of the default certificates may establish a connection to your servers. . So we strongly
recommend that you obtain your own certificates for Prima IP or go forth to generate them using software
like XCA….. For certificate generation using XCA, please refer to
How to Generate Prima IP Certificates
using XCA
(could be found on the Prima IP support CD-ROM).
First you have to have these certificates ready on your client computers for uploading to Prima IP
via a Web browser. If you haven’t obtained your own Prima IP certificates, you can use the
default set of certificates (could be found on the Prima IP support CD-ROM).
