The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 68 Certificates > My Certificate Details

LABEL DESCRIPTION

Name This field displays the identifying name of this certificate. If you want

to change the name, type up to 31 characters to identify this

certificate. You may use any character (not including spaces).

Property

Default self-

signed certificate

which signs the

imported remote

host certificates.

Select this check box to have the NWA use this certificate to sign the

trusted remote host certificates that you import to the NWA. This

check box is only available with self-signed certificates.

If this check box is already selected, you cannot clear it in this screen,

you must select this check box in another self-signed certificate’s

details screen. This automatically clears the check box in the details

screen of the certificate that was previously set to sign the imported

trusted remote host certificates.

Certificate Path Click the Refresh button to have this read-only text box display the

hierarchy of certification authorities that validate the certificate (and

the certificate itself).

If the issuing certification authority is one that you have imported as

a trusted certification authority, it may be the only certification

authority in the list (along with the certificate itself). If the certificate

is a self-signed certificate, the certificate itself is the only one in the

list. The NWA does not trust the certificate and displays Not trusted

in this field if any certificate on the path has expired or been revoked.

Refresh Click Refresh to display the certification path.

Certificate

Information

These read-only fields display detailed information about the

certificate.

Type This field displays general information about the certificate. CA-

signed means that a Certification Authority signed the certificate.

Self-signed means that the certificate’s owner signed the certificate

(not a certification authority). X.509 means that this certificate was

created and signed according to the ITU-T X.509 recommendation

that defines the formats for public-key certificates.

Version This field displays the X.509 version number.

Serial Number This field displays the certificate’s identification number given by the

certification authority or generated by the NWA.

Subject This field displays information that identifies the owner of the

certificate, such as Common Name (CN), Organizational Unit (OU),

Organization (O) and Country (C).

Issuer This field displays identifying information about the certificate’s

issuing certification authority, such as Common Name, Organizational

Unit, Organization and Country.

With self-signed certificates, this is the same as the Subject Name

field.

Signature

Algorithm

This field displays the type of algorithm that was used to sign the

certificate. The NWA uses rsa-pkcs1-sha1 (RSA public-private key

encryption algorithm and the SHA1 hash algorithm). Some

certification authorities may use ras-pkcs1-md5 (RSA public-private

key encryption algorithm and the MD5 hash algorithm).
