LABEL DESCRIPTION
Certificate Name Type up to 31 ASCII characters (not including spaces) to identify this
certificate.
Subject Information Use these fields to record information that identifies the owner of the
certificate. You do not have to fill in every field, although the Common Name is
mandatory. The certification authority may add fields (such as a serial number)
to the subject information when it issues a certificate. It is recommended that
each certificate have unique subject information.
Common Name Select a radio button to identify the certificate’s owner by IP address, domain
name or e-mail address. Type the IP address (in dotted decimal notation),
domain name or e-mail address in the field provided. The domain name or e-
mail address can be up to 31 ASCII characters. The domain name or e-mail
address is for identification purposes only and can be any string.
Organizational Unit Type up to 127 characters to identify the organizational unit or department to
which the certificate owner belongs. You may use any character, including
spaces, but the ZyXEL device drops trailing spaces.
Organization Type up to 127 characters to identify the company or group to which the
certificate owner belongs. You may use any character, including spaces, but
the ZyXEL device drops trailing spaces.
Country Type up to 127 characters to identify the nation where the certificate owner is
located. You may use any character, including spaces, but the ZyXEL device
drops trailing spaces.
Key Length Select a number from the drop-down list box to determine how many bits the
key should use (512 to 2048). The longer the key, the more secure it is. A
longer key also uses more PKI storage space.
Enrollment Options These radio buttons deal with how and when the certificate is to be generated.
Create a self-signed
certificate
Select Create a self-signed certificate to have the ZyXEL device generate
the certificate and act as the Certification Authority (CA) itself. This way you do
not need to apply to a certification authority for certificates.
Create a certification
request and save it
locally for later manual
enrollment
Select Create a certification request and save it locally for later manual
enrollment to have the ZyXEL device generate and store a request for a
certificate. Use the My Certificate Details screen to view the certification
request and copy it to send to the certification authority.
Copy the certification request from the
My Certificate Details screen ( see the
My Certificate Details section ) and then send it to the certification authority.
Create a certification
request and enroll for
a certificate
immediately online
Select Create a certification request and enroll for a certificate
immediately online to have the ZyXEL device generate a request for a
certificate and apply to a certification authority for a certificate.
You must have the certification authority’s certificate already imported in the
Trusted CAs screen.
When you select this option, you must select the certification authority’s
enrollment protocol and the certification authority’s certificate from the drop-
down list boxes and enter the certification authority’s server address. You also
need to fill in the Reference Number and Key if the certification authority
requires them.
