Before continuing, set the parameter HTTPSOnly = 0 to ensure you have a method of
accessing the device in case the new certificate doesn’t work. Restore the previous
setting after testing the configuration.
7
In the
Certificate
screen (
Figure 110
) locate the server certificate loading section.
8
Click
Browse
, navigate to the
cert.txt
file, and then click
Send File
.
9
When the operation is completed, save the configuration (see
Saving Configuration
) and
restart the gateway; the Embedded Web Server uses the provided certificate.
•
The certificate replacement process can be repeated when necessary (for
example, the new certificate expires).
•
It is possible to use the IP address of the gateway (for example, 10.3.3.1)
instead of a qualified DNS name in the Subject Name. This practice is not
recommended since the IP address is subject to changes and may not
uniquely identify the device.
•
The server certificate can also be loaded using ini file using the parameter
‘HTTPSCertFileName’.
Client Certificates
By default, Web servers using SSL provide one-way authentication. The client is certain that
the information provided by the Web server is authentic. When an organizational PKI is used,
two-way authentication may be desired: both client and server should be authenticated using
X.509 certificates. This is achieved by installing a client certificate on the managing PC, and
loading the same certificate (in base64-encoded X.509 format) to the gateway Trusted Root
Certificate Store. The Trusted Root Certificate file should contain both the certificate of the
authorized user and the certificate of the CA.
Since X.509 certificates have an expiration date and time, the gateway must be configured to
use NTP (See
Simple Network Time Protocol Support
) to obtain the current date and time.
Without a correct date and time, client certificates cannot work.
