AirDefense recommends using a security certificate for every AirDefense appliance in your
network. Furthermore, we recommend that you replace the pre-installed security certificate
from AirDefense with either a self-signed certificate or a root-signed certificate.
AirDefense supports the X.509 ITU-T (ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector) standard for
certificates. The supported encryption key lengths are 2048, 4096, and 8192. More information about
the X.509 ITU-T standard can be found by searching the Internet.
Use the Certificate feature to view and create security certificates for the AirDefense appliance, and to
perform other certificate-related tasks, such as installing certificates. You must be an Admin User to use
this feature. You can access the iCertificates feature by following these steps:
