Certificates
You can protect network services on the reader using SSL/TLS to secure the communication channel against
eavesdropping or tampering, and optionally authenticate peer networked nodes involved in the
communication. SSL/TLS protocol uses Public Key Infrastructure digital certificates. The following services on
the reader support SSL/TLS:
•
Web Administrator Console service (HTTPS). See Network Services Settings on page 4-37.
•
File Transfer Service (FTPS - explicit SSL/TLS over FTP). See Network Services Settings on page 4-37.
•
Shell Service (SSH - by default always in secure mode).
•
Secure LLRP Service (refer to the EPC Global LLRP Standard, Security in TCP Transport). See the
Enable Secure Mode option in Configure LLRP Settings on page 4-34.
NOTE The supported version of SSL/TLS varies between services. Different services support SSL v3 and TLS
1.0 and above.
NOTE The Validate Peer option in Secure LLRP Service configuration enables authentication of reader and/or
clients using digital certificates. You must import a custom certificate (instead of the default self-signed
certificate) to the reader to enable this option. See Configure LLRP Settings on page 4-34 for details.
Services other than Secure LLRP rely on password-based authentication.
NOTE The SNMP service on the reader supports SNMP v2c and does not support security.
