SSL Settings
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for managing the security of data transmission over the
Internet. It provides encryption, authentication, and message integrity services. SSL is widely used
for secure communication to a web server.
Certificate/Private key combinations can be obtained from an external Certificate Authority (CA)
and uploaded into the unit. Self-signed certificates with associated private key can be generated
by the device server itself.
Note: The blue text in the XML command strings of this chapter are to be replaced with
a user-specified name.
Create a New Credential
After creating a new credential, you can either establish your credential through Certificate and
Key Generation or Upload Certificate.
Bit Size Select the bit length of the new key:
512
768
1024
Using a larger Bit Size takes more time to generate the key. Approximate times are:
1 second for a 512 bit RSA key
1 second for a 768 bit RSA key
1 second for a 1024 bit RSA key
2 seconds for a 512 bit DSA key
2 seconds for a 768 bit DSA key
20 seconds for a 1024 bit DSA key
Note: Some SSH clients require RSA host keys to be at least 1024 bits long. This
device generates keys up to 2048 bits long.
Submit (button) Click the Submit button after entering the information for the new key.
