The default Identity Certificate is indicated with a blue check.
To generate a Self-signed Certificate or a Certificate Signing Request (CSR):
1.
On the Certificates page, click
Generate
.
2.
(Optional) Type a name for the certificate in the Generate Certificate dialog.
3.
Select either Self-signed or Certificate Signing Request from the drop-down list. For
more information, see
4.
For the subject, type in information about the device that the Identity Certificate
represents. For more information, see
5.
Click
Generate
.
If the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) was selected, the generated CSR file needs to
be sent to a Certificate Authority to be signed. A copy of it is saved in the current ad-
ministrator’s home directory, or it can be copied and pasted from the CSR view. You
can import the signed certificate back later by clicking on the
Import
button (using the
same name as the CSR file).
TIP
Keep in mind that there is a difference between importing a new certificate (that was
generated externally) and importing a newly signed certificate whose request was
previously generated on the Makito X and exported for signing. For details, see
