Generating a Certificate Signing Request
The certificate store is the central storage for all the security certificates that the controller uses
for its web interface, AP portal, and hotspots.
This section describes how to generate a certificate signing request (which you need to obtain
a signed certificate) and how to import a signed certificate into the controller.
NOTE: If you already have an SSL certificate that you want to import into the controller, go to
Importing an SSL Certificate.
If you do not have an SSL certificate, you will need to create a certificate signing request (CSR)
file and send it to an SSL certificate provider to purchase an SSL certificate. The controller web
interface provides a form that you can use to create the CSR file. Follow these steps to generate
a certificate request.
1. Go to Configuration > System.
2. On the sidebar, click Certificate Store.
The Certificate Store page appears.
3. In the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) section, click Generate.
The Generate New Certificate Signing Request (CSR) form appears.
4. In Name, type a name for this CSR.
5. In Description, type a description for this CSR.
6. In the Certificates Signing Request (CSR) section, fill out the following boxes:
a) Common Name: Type the fully qualified domain name of your Web server. This must be
an exact match (for example, www.ruckuswireless.com).
b) Email: Type your email address (for example, joe@ruckuswireless.com).
c) Organization: Type the complete legal name of your organization (for example, Ruckus
Wireless, Inc.).
Do not abbreviate your organization name.
d) Organization Unit: Type the name of the division, department, or section in your
organization that manages network security (for example, Network Management).
e) Locality/City: Type the city where your organization is legally located (for example,
Sunnyvale).
f) State/Province: Type the state or province where your organization is legally located (for
example, California)
Do not abbreviate the state or province name.
g) Country: Select the country where your organization is location from the drop-down list.
7. Click OK.
The controller generates the certificate request. When the certificate request file is ready, your
web browser automatically downloads it.
