Manage the device certificates to authenticate Secure Socket Layer (SSL). SSL uses public-private key technology that requires a paired private key and an authentication certificate for providing the SSL service. SSL encrypts communication between your device and the Web browser with a session key negotiated by the SSL server certificate.

You can perform the following tasks:

• Import a certificate to manually load externally generated certificates or CSR. See Import a Device Certificate.

  Note:

  You must obtain the private key, passphrase, and the signed certificate from certificate authority (CA) server.

• Export a local certificate or CSR from the default location to a specific location within the device. See Export a Device Certificate.

• View the details of a certificate. See View Details of a Device Certificate.

• Generate a certificate. See Add a Device Certificate.

• Delete a certificate. See Delete Device Certificate.
