230 Configuring the Wireless AP
Using an External Certificate Authority
If you prefer, you may install a certificate on your AP signed by an outside CA.
The AP’s certificate is used for security when stations attempt to associate to an
SSID that has Web Page Redirect (captive portal) enabled. In this case, it is
preferable for the AP to present a certificate from an external CA that is likely to
be trusted by most browsers. When a WPR login page is presented, the user will
not see a security error if the AP’s certificate was obtained from an external CA
that is already trusted by the user’s browser.
WMI provides options for creating a Certificate Signing Request that you can
send to an external CA, and for uploading the signed certificate to the AP after
you obtain it from the CA. This certificate will be tied to the AP’s host name and
private key. See “External Certificate Authority” on page 245 for more details.
