abbreviations, spellings, URLs, and company departments recognized by the Cer-
tificate Authority. This helps to avoid problems the Certificate Authority might oth-
erwise have reconciling Certificate request and company record information.
If necessary, consult your web browser vendor’s documentation and Certificate
Authority to see which key bit lengths and signature algorithms your web browser
supports.
Orolia recommends that when completing the Common Name field, the user
provide a static IP address, because DHCP-generated IP addresses can change. If
the hostname or IP address changes, the X.509 Certificate must be regenerated.
It is recommended that the RSA Private Key Bit Length be a power of 2 or multiple
of 2. The key bit length chosen is typically 1024, but can range from 512 to 4096.
Long key bit lengths of up to 4096 are not recommended because they can take
several hours to generate. The most common key bit length is the value 1024.
Note: The default key bit length value is 2048.
When using a self-signed Certificate, choose values based on your company’s secur-
ity policy.

When the form is complete, confirm that you checked the box Create Self Signed
Certificate at the top of the window, then click Submit. Clicking the Submit but-
ton automatically generates the Certificate Request in the proper format for sub-
sequent submission to the Certificate Authority.
Note: It may take several minutes for VersaSync to create the Cer-
tificate request and the private key (larger keys will require more
time than small keys). If the unit is rebooted during this time, the Cer-
tificate will not be created.
To view the newly generated request, in the HTTPS Setup window, click the Cer-
tificate Request tab.
