SSL is used widely for secure communication to a Web server, and for wireless authentication. SSL certificates identify the G520 series gateway to peers and are used with some methods of wireless authentication. Provide a name at upload time to identify certificates on the G520 series gateway. You can upload Certificate and Private key combinations, obtained from an external Certificate Authority (CA), to the G520 series gateway. The G520 series gateway can also generate selfsigned certificates with associated private keys. Credentials The G520 series gateway can generate self-signed certificates and their associated keys for both RSA and DSA certificate formats. When you generate certificates, assign them a credential name to help identify them on the G520 series gateway. Once you create your credentials, then configure them with the desired certificates. To configure a new credential: 1. Go to SSL > Credentials. 2. Type the name for your credential in the Credential Name field. 3. Enter the fields under Upload Certificate (see Table 16-1) or Create New Self-Signed Certificate (see Table 16-2). 4. Click Save & Apply. The process to create a self-signed certificate can take up to 30 seconds, depending on the length of the key. The newly created credential is displayed at the top of the SSL Credentials page. To view a credential: 1. Go to SSL > Credentials. 2. Under Current Credentials, click the name of the credential to view its details. To delete a credential: 1. Go to SSL > Credentials. 2.

16: SSL
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol that creates an encrypted connection between devices.
It also provides authentication and message integrity services. SSL is used widely for secure
communication to a Web server, and for wireless authentication.
SSL certificates identify the G520 series gateway to peers and are used with some methods of
wireless authentication. Provide a name at upload time to identify certificates on the G520 series
gateway.
You can upload Certificate and Private key combinations, obtained from an external Certificate
Authority (CA), to the G520 series gateway. The G520 series gateway can also generate self-
signed certificates with associated private keys.
Credentials
The G520 series gateway can generate self-signed certificates and their associated keys for both
RSA and DSA certificate formats. When you generate certificates, assign them a credential name
to help identify them on the G520 series gateway. Once you create your credentials, then
configure them with the desired certificates.
To configure a new credential:
1.
Go to SSL > Credentials.
2.
Type the name for your credential in the Credential Name field.
3.
Enter the fields under Upload Certificate (see
Table 16-1
) or Create New Self-Signed
Certificate (see
Table 16-2
).
4.
Click
Save & Apply
. The process to create a self-signed certificate can take up to 30 seconds,
depending on the length of the key.
The newly created credential is displayed at the top of the SSL Credentials page.
To view a credential:
1.
Go to SSL > Credentials.
2.
Under Current Credentials, click the name of the credential to view its details.
To delete a credential:
1.
Go to SSL > Credentials.
2.
Under Current Credentials, click the
Delete
button next to the name of the credential.
