About the Device Certificates Page

You are here: Device Administration > Certificate Management > Device Certificates.

Manage the device certificates to authenticate Secure Socket Layer (SSL). SSL uses public-private key technology that requires a paired private key and an authentication certificate for providing the SSL service. SSL encrypts communication between your device and the Web browser with a session key negotiated by the SSL server certificate.

You can perform the following tasks:

  • Import a certificate to manually load externally generated certificates or CSR. See Import a Device Certificate.

    Note:

    You must obtain the private key, passphrase, and the signed certificate from certificate authority (CA) server.

  • Export a local certificate or CSR from the default location to a specific location within the device. See Export a Device Certificate.

  • View the details of a certificate. See View Details of a Device Certificate.

  • Generate a certificate. See Add a Device Certificate.

  • Delete a certificate. See Delete a Device Certificate.

  • Search for text in a device certificate table. See Search Text in the Device Certificates Table.

  • Filter the device certificates information based on select criteria. To do this, select the filter icon at the upper-right corner of the table. The columns in the grid change to accept filter options. Type the filter options; the table displays only the data that fits the filtering criteria.

  • Show or hide columns in the Device Certificates table. To do this, use the Show Hide Columns icon in the upper-right corner of the page and select the options you want to show or deselect to hide options on the page
