tab.
You may use your self-signed certificate (or the default Spectracom self-signed certificate
that comes with the unit) while waiting for the HTTPS certificate from the Certificate
Authority, or – if a Certificate Authority is not available – until it expires. The typical life
span of a certificate is about 10years.
NOTE: When accessing the VersaSync WebUI while using the self-signed certificate, your
Windows
®
web browser will ask you to confirm that you want to access this site via https
with only a self-signed certificate in place. Other operating systems may vary in how they
install and accept certificates. External Internet access may be required by your Certificate
Authority to verify your certificate.
2.8.5.7 Uploading an X.509 PEM Certificate Text
Many Certificate Authorities simply issue a Certificate in the form of a plain text file. If your
Certificate was provided in this manner, and the Certificate is in the X.509 PEM format, fol-
low the procedure below to upload the Certificate text by copying and pasting it into the
WebUI.
Note: Only X.509 PEM Certificates can be loaded in this manner. Cer-
tificates issued in other formats must be uploaded via the Upload Cer-
tificate tab.
