Chapter 35 Certificates The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 159 Configuration > Object > Certificate > My Certificates > Add LABEL Name Subject Information DESCRIPTION Type a name to identify this certificate.

Select a radio button to identify the certificate's owner by IP address, domain name or e-mail address. Type the IP address (in dotted decimal notation), domain name or email address in the field provided. The domain name or e-mail address is for identification purposes only and can be any string. A domain name can be up to 255 characters. You can use alphanumeric characters, the hyphen and periods.

This way you do not need to apply to a certification authority for certificates. Select this to have the UAG generate and store a request for a certificate. Use the My Certificate Details screen to view the certification request and copy it to send to the certification authority. Copy the certification request from the My Certificate Details screen (see Section 35.2.2 on page 401) and then send it to the certification authority. 400 UAG715 User's Guide
