Certicates
Certicates are used to authenticate devices on a network. Typical applications include encrypted web browsing (HTTPS), network
protection via IEEE 802.1X and secure upload of images and notication messages for example via email. Two types of certicates
can be used with the Axis product:
Server/Client certicates - To authenticate the Axis product.
CA certicates - To authenticate peer certicates, for example the certicate of an authentication server in case the Axis product is
connected to an IEEE 802.1X protected network.
Note
Installed certicates, except preinstalled CA certicates, will be deleted if the product is reset to factory default. Preinstalled
CA certicates that have been deleted will be reinstalled.
A Server/Client certicate can be self-signed or issued by a Certicate Authority (CA). A self-signed certicate offers limited
protection and can be used before a CA-issued certicate has been obtained.
To install a self-signed certicate:
1. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > Certicates.
2. Click Create self-signed certicate and provide the requested information.
To create and install a CA-signed certicate:
1. Create a self-signed certicate as described above.
2. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > Certicates.
3. Click Create certicate signing request and provide the requested information.
4. Copy the PEM-formatted request and send to the CA of your choice.
5. When the signed certicate is returned, click Install certicate and upload the certicate.
Server/Client certicates can be installed as Certicate from signing request or as Certicate and private key. Select Certicate
and private key if the private key is to be upload as a separate le or if the certicate is in PKCS#12 format.
The Axis product is shipped with several preinstalled CA certicates. If required, additional CA certicates can be installed:
1. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > Certicates.
2. Click Install certicate and upload the certicate.
