Creating and Installing Digital Certificates

Purpose

For network communication that requires a higher level of security than

password encryption, the Web interface of the Network Management Card

supports the use of digital certificates with the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

protocol. Digital certificates can authenticate the Network Management

Card (the server) to the Web browser (the SSL client).

The sections that follow summarize the three methods of creating,

implementing, and using digital certificates. Read these sections to

determine the most appropriate method for your system.

• Method 1: Use APC’s default certificate.

• Method 2: Use the APC Security Wizard to create a CA certificate and

a server certificate.

• Method 3: Use the APC Security Wizard to create a certificate-signing

request to be signed by the root certificate of an external Certificate

Authority and to create a server certificate.

You can also use Method 3 if your company or agency

operates its own Certificate Authority. Use the APC Security

Wizard in the same way, but use your own Certificate

Authority in place of a commercial Certificate Authority.
