How to Use Certificates

Certificates


The Certificates form is used to store certificates locally on the Voice of the Machine Edge device. The user can install or uninstall certificates from this form.

Voice of the Machine Edge includes a default SSL certificate and therefore all communication is secure by default. A certificate is required only if you want to give the device a DNS name and remove the browser's security warning.

To add a device certificate:

  1. In the navigation panel, expand System and click Certificates.
  2. Select the Device Certificate tab.
  3. Click .

When adding a certificate, the following parameters are required:

  • SSL Certificate– After submitting a certificate signing request (CSR) to a certificate authority, you will receive both a certificate and a key. Enter the certificate received from the certificate authority.
  • CA Chain– Certificate Authority (CA) Chain – This is the chain of SSL certificates from the root to the end-user certificate, including intermediate certificates.
  • Private Key– After submitting a certificate signing request (CSR) to a certificate authority, you will receive both a certificate and a key. Enter the key received from the certificate authority.
