Certificates

To ensure a secure website that takes advantage of encryption, ExtremeCloud IQ Controller uses browser certificates for website security and RADIUS Server certificates for certificate-based authentication to the network and for access to a captive portal. The browser certificate ensures security between the wireless clients and a VLAN, and the RADIUS server certificates ensure security between the RADIUS server and Network Access Control.

Both types of certificates offer the option to generate a new certificate or use a certificate and key file that you have saved. You can also reset the network interface to the default certificate and key, which yields a Self-Signed certificate.

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller offers a factory installed self-signed certificate, which is used by the user interface HTTP Server to terminate the HTTPS browser requests served on port 5825. The certificate common name is Network Services Engine.
