Managing Key Pairs and Digital Certificates

Key pairs and digital certificates can be used for security purposes, such as IEEE802.1X port-based authentication.

You can manage key pairs and digital certificates from the Remote UI by dividing them into the following types:

  • Key and Certificate

In IEEE802.1X port-based authentication, a key pair (or a private key and certificate) in PKCS#12 format is required for enabling the EAP-TLS method on the client device. Up to three key pairs can be registered.

  • CA Certificate

CA certificates are used for verifying the digital certificates sent from other devices, such as servers, client computers, etc. Up to 10 CA certificates (including the pre-installed CA certificate) can be registered.


Remark
  • Certificates must meet the following requirements:
  • Format: X.509 version 1 or version 3 (DER encoded binary)
  • Signature algorithm: SHA1-RSA, MD5-RSA, or MD2-RSA (For CA certificates, SHA1-DSA is also allowed.)
  • Key length: 512 bits or 1024 bits (RSA)/2048 bits (DSA)
  • File extension: β€˜.p12’ (for key pair files)/β€˜.cer’ (for CA certificate files)
  • The machine does not use certificate revocation list (CRL) for verifying digital certificates.
  • Self-signed certificates are not supported.
  • [Certificate Settings] is displayed only when you are in the System Manager Mode.
