Configuring the Server
Certificate
To configure the server certificate:
1 Create the RSA key pair. See
“Creating RSA Key Pair” on page 33
2 Create a certificate request. See
“Creating Certificate Request” on page 33
.
The certificate request is displayed on the screen.
3 Copy the certificate request to a file and send it to the Certificate Authority
(CA) that will generate the certificate.
4 When the CA responds with the certificate, configure the BelAir100SN SSL
configuration to use it. See
“Configuring the Server Certificate” on page 33
5 Save the SSL configuration. See
“Saving an SSL Configuration” on page 33
