Obtaining a signed certificate
After creating a private key and public key, obtain a signed public key
certificate file. You can use any of these methods to obtain a signed
certificate file.
• Create a certificate by self-signing. See
Obtaining a self-signed certificate
on page 217.
• Obtain a certificate from the certificate authority that is used by your
company.
• Request an official certificate from an SSL certificate authority. See
Obtaining a signed and trusted certificate on page 217.
Note: When you send a request to a certificate authority, specify the SVP as
the host name.
Hitachi recommends that self-signed certificates be used only for testing
encrypted communication.
