Creating a Self-Signed Certificate
When appropriate certificate and key files for the PXE device are
unavailable, the alternative, other than submitting a CSR to the CA, is to
generate a self-signed certificate.
To create and install a self-signed certificate:
1. Choose Device Settings > Security > SSL Certificate. The Manage
SSL Certificate dialog appears.
2. Click the New SSL Certificate tab.
3. Provide the information requested.

country code. For a list of ISO codes, visit the
ISO website
State or Province
The full name of the state or province where your company is located.
Locality The city where your company is located.
Organization The registered name of your company.
Organizational Unit The name of your department.
Common Name The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your PXE device.
Email Address An email address where you or another administrative user can be
reached.
Key Length Select the key length (bits) from the drop-down list in this field. A
larger key length enhances the security, but slows down the PXE
device's response.

Validity in days This field appears after the Self Sign checkbox is selected. Type the
number of days for which the self-signed certificate will be valid.

Challenge and Confirm Challenge fields disappear after the Self Sign
checkbox is selected.
4. Click Create New SSL Key to create both the self-signed certificate
and private key. This may take several minutes to complete.
