Generate 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.

Select Certificates.
The Certificates dialog displays.
Select the Certificate option:
- Replace or Install Topology's 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.
- Replace or Install Topology's 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.
- Replace or Install Topology's certificate file and key from separate files
  Select this option and navigate to the saved certificate file and separate key file.
- Reset to Topology's default certificate and key
  Select this option to clear previous certificates and reset the Universal Compute Platform to the default configuration of the Self-Signed certificate.
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.
