A3 Installation and Initial Configuration
Part Number: 9036855-02 Rev AA A3 Quick Start Guide Community 15
Certificate Installation (Optional)
When A3 is installed it generates a self-signed certificate for use in the captive web portal,
which will be accessed in the management portal and with URLs that begin with https://A3-
Eval.example.com/ (https://<a>.<d>/), corresponding to the value entered on the General
Configuration page.
In a production system, you would use a domain that you own and use a public certificate
authority to generate a certificate for the A3 CWP. You can do this now, modifying the
domain on the General Configuration page and installing your certificate file using the
Configuration > System Configuration > Certificates page on A3. All HTTP services
(httpd.aaa, httpd.admin, httpd.dispatcher, httpd.parking, httpd.portal, and
httpd.webservices) must be restarted after installing HTTPS certificates via A3’s GUI:
Status > Services.
If you choose to skip this step, when testing A3 your browser may object to the use of A3’s
WebUI and captive web portal. This might require that you exercise some work-arounds.
These work-arounds are covered at the appropriate place.
