About system options
About certificates
Certificates are used to authenticate devices on a network. Typical applications include encrypted web browsing (HTTPS), network
protection via IEEE 802.1X and secure upload of images and notification messages for example via email. Two types of certificates
can be used with the Axis product:
Server/Client certificates -
To authenticate the Axis product. A
Server/Client
certificate can be self-signed or issued by a Certificate
Authority (CA). A self-signed certificate offers limited protection and can be used before a CA-issued certificate has been obtained.
CA certificates -
To authenticate peer certificates, for example the certificate of an authentication server in case the Axis product is
connected to an IEEE 802.1X protected network. The Axis product is shipped with several preinstalled CA certificates.
Note
• If the product is reset to factory default, all certificates, except preinstalled CA certificates, will be deleted.
• If the product is reset to factory default, all preinstalled CA certificates that have been deleted will be reinstalled.
