Digital Certificates Overview

The SRC software provides support for digital certificates for use by other protocols to protect communications between the SRC software and other applications or network devices. You can manage certificates to:

• Support HTTPS connections between the SRC software and Web browsers.

• Allow BEEP TLS connections between the SRC software and routers running Junos OS.

You can use SRC CLI commands to manage certificates manually, or through the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP).

Certificates are in the format defined in the X.509 standard for public key infrastructure. The certificate requests are in the Public Key Cryptology Standard (PKCS) #10 format.
