Chapter 6: Security

Field
Type this information
Key Length
Select the key length (bits) from the drop-down list in this field. A
larger key length enhances the security, but slows down the EMX
device's response.
Self Sign
Ensure this checkbox is selected, which indicates that you are
creating a self-signed certificate.
Validity in days
This field appears after the Self Sign checkbox is selected. Type the
number of days for which the self-signed certificate is valid in this
field.
Note: All fields in the Subject section are mandatory, except for the
Organization, Organizational Unit and Email Address fields.
A password is not required for a self-signed certificate so the
Challenge and Confirm Challenge fields disappear after the Self Sign
checkbox is selected.
4. Click Create New SSL Key to create both the self-signed certificate
and private key. This may take several minutes to complete.
5. You can also do any of the following:
Click "Install Key and Certificate" to immediately install the self-
signed certificate and private key. When any confirmation and
security messages appear, click Yes to continue.
Tip: To verify whether the certificate has been installed successfully,
click the Active SSL Certificate tab later.
To download the self-signed certificate or private key, click
Download Certificate or Download Key. You are prompted to
open or save the file. Click Save to save it on your computer.
To remove the self-signed certificate and private key permanently
from the EMX device, click "Delete Key and Certificate".
6. If you installed the self-signed certificate in Step 5, after the
installation completes, the EMX device resets and the login page re-
opens.
