Table 73 TOOLS > Certificates > My Certificates > Edit LABEL DESCRIPTION Name This field displays the identifying name of this certificate. You can use up to 31 alphanumeric and characters. Property Select Default self-signed certificate which signs the imported remote host certificates to use this certificate to sign the remote host certificates you upload in the TOOLS > Certificates > Trusted CAs screen. Certification Path This field displays for a certificate, not a certification request. Click the Refresh button to have this read-only text box display the hierarchy of certification authorities that validate the certificate (and the certificate itself). If the issuing certification authority is one that you have imported as a trusted certification authority, it may be the only certification authority in the list (along with the certificate itself). If the certificate is a self-signed certificate, the certificate itself is the only one in the list. The WiMAX Device does not trust the certificate and displays "Not trusted" in this field if any certificate on the path has expired or been revoked. Refresh Click to display the certification path. Certification Information Type This field displays general information about the certificate. CA-signed means that a Certification Authority signed the certificate. Self-signed means that the certificate's owner signed the certificate (not a certification authority). "X.509" means that this certificate was created and signed according to the ITU-T X.509 recommendation that defines the formats for public-key certificates. Version This field displays the X.509 version number. " Serial Number This field displays the certificate's identification number given by the certification authority or generated by the WiMAX Device. Subject This field displays information that identifies the owner of the certificate, such as Common Name (CN), Organizational Unit (OU), Organization (O) and Country (C). Issuer This field displays identifying information about the certificate's issuing certification authority, such as Common Name, Organizational Unit, Organization and Country. With self-signed certificates, this is the same as the Subject Name field. Signature Algorithm Valid From "none" displays for a certification request. This field displays the type of algorithm that was used to sign the certificate. The WiMAX Device uses rsa-pkcs1-sha1 (RSA publicprivate key encryption algorithm and the SHA1 hash algorithm). Some certification authorities may use rsa-pkcs1-md5 (RSA publicprivate key encryption algorithm and the MD5 hash algorithm). This field displays the date that the certificate becomes applicable.

Certification Path
This field displays for a certificate, not a certification request.
Click the
Refresh
button to have this read-only text box display the
hierarchy of certification authorities that validate the certificate (and
the certificate itself).
If the issuing certification authority is one that you have imported as
a trusted certification authority, it may be the only certification
authority in the list (along with the certificate itself). If the certificate
is a self-signed certificate, the certificate itself is the only one in the
list. The WiMAX Device does not trust the certificate and displays “Not
trusted” in this field if any certificate on the path has expired or been
revoked.
