SSL Settings
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for managing the security of data transmission over the
Internet. It provides encryption, authentication, and message integrity services. SSL is widely used
for secure communication to a web server, and also for wireless authentication.
Certificate/Private key combinations can be obtained from an external Certificate Authority (CA)
and uploaded into the unit. Self-signed certificates with associated private key can be generated
by the device server itself.
Note:
The
blue text
in the XML command strings of this chapter are to be replaced with
a user-specified name.
Certificate and Key Generation
The PremierWave XN intelligent gateway can generate self signed certificates and their
corresponding keys. This can be done for both the rsa and dsa certificate formats. Certificates can
be identified on the PremierWave XN unit by a name provided at generation time.
