certificate
When the client certificate has been saved in the camera
correctly, its information appears on Status, Issuer DN,
Subject DN, Validity Period and Extended Key
Usage.
Status: Shows if the status of the client certificate is
valid or invalid.
Valid means the client certificate is correctly stored
and set.
Invalid means the client certificate is not correctly
stored and set.
Possible causes of Invalid are the following:
When the private key password included in the
client certificate is not specified correctly
When the private key password is specified in spite
of the fact that the key pair in the client certificate
is not encrypted.
When the key pair is not included in the client
certificate.
Note
When the client certificate to be imported is of
PKCS#12 format and the private key password is not set
correctly, “<Put correct private key password>” is
displayed in the boxes of Issuer DN, Subject DN,
Validity Period and Extended Key Usage. Specify the
correct private key password to confirm the information
of the certificate.

camera will be deleted.
Private key password
Type the password for the private key information
included in the client certificate using up to 50
