Generate Browser Certificates

Browser certificates are used for website security or to secure the captive portal client communications. Generate a certificate or use a saved certificate and key from one or more files.

Go to the following screens for the Certificates feature:
  • Policy > VLAN for generating topology certificates
  • Admin > Interface for generating certificates used for website security.

After an interface or topology is created, the Certificates button displays. Take the following steps:

  1. Select Certificates.
    The Certificates dialog displays.
  2. Select the Certificate option:
    • Install or Replace Certificate

      Select this option and select Generate CSR. Complete the online form, then generate and download the certificate that can be presented to a public certificate authority.

    • Install or Replace certificate and key from a single file

      Select this option and navigate to the saved certificate file. Provide the password key provided with that file.

    • Install or Replace certificate file and key from separate files

      Select this option and navigate to the saved certificate file and separate key file.

    • Reset to default certificate and key

      Select this option to clear previous certificates and reset the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller to the default configuration of the Self-Signed certificate.

    Note

    Note

    When certificates are applied or reset on the Admin topology, a server restart is triggered, and the browser loses connectivity with the server for a few seconds. When certificates are applied or reset on System topologies where Management Traffic is enabled, the server is also restarted.
