Configuring security
Viewing SSL certificate information
To view certificate information, select Security from the main menu. The following certificate details
are displayed:
• Issued to—The entity to which the certificate was issued
• Issued by—The CA that issued the certificate
• Valid from—The first date that the certificate is valid
• Valid until—The date that the certificate expires
• Serial number—The serial number that the CA assigned to the certificate
Obtaining a trusted SSL certificate
Users who have the Administrator privilege can customize and import a trusted certificate.
A certificate works only with the keys generated with its corresponding CSR. If the Moonshot 1500
CM module is reset to the factory default settings, or another CSR is generated before the certificate
that corresponds to the previous CSR is imported, the certificate does not work. In that case, a new
CSR must be generated and used to obtain a new certificate from a CA.
To obtain a trusted certificate:
1. Select Security from the main menu.
2. Select Actions→Customize Certificate.
The Generate Certificate Signing Request page opens.
