242 IOLAN SDS/SCS/STS/MDC User’s Guide, Version 4.0
Keys and Certificates
When you are using SSH, SSL/TLS, LDAP, or HTTPS, you will need to install keys and/or
certificates or get server keys in order to make those options work properly. All certificates need to be
created and all keys need to be generated outside of the IOLAN, with the exception of the IOLAN
SSH Public keys, which already exist in the IOLAN. SSH keys must be generated using the
OpenSSH format.
Certificate Authorities (CAs) such as Verisign, COST, GTE CyberTrust, etc. can issue certificates. Or,
you can create a self-signed certificate using a utility such as OpenSSL.
To download or keys, a certificate, or a CA list or to upload the IOLAN public SSH key, select Tools,
Advanced, Keys and Certificates.
