15.10 Trusted Remote Hosts Import
Click Security > Certificates > Trusted Remote Hosts to open the Trusted
Remote Hosts screen and then click Import to open the Trusted Remote Host
Import screen. Follow the instructions in this screen to save a trusted host’s
certificate to the ZyXEL Device.
SHA1 Fingerprint This is the certificate’s message digest that the ZyXEL Device
calculated using the SHA1 algorithm. You cannot use this value to
verify that this is the remote host’s actual certificate because the
ZyXEL Device has signed the certificate; thus causing this value to
be different from that of the remote hosts actual certificate. See
Section 15.1.3 on page 293 for how to verify a remote host’s
certificate.
