Multi-level certificates for PublicSpots

SSL certificate chains can be loaded into the device as a PKCS#12 container. These certificate chains can be used for Public Spot authentication pages by using the HTTPS server implemented in the device. Certificates from recognized trust centers are normally multi-level. Officially signed certificates in the Public Spot are necessary to avoid certificate-related error messages from the browser when authenticating at a Public Spot.

The certificate is loaded into the device by using LANconfig in File Management to upload the individual files of the root CA certificate or a PKCS#12 container:









Certificates are normally issued for DNS names, so the Public Spot must specify the certificate's DNS name as the destination and not an internal IP address (enter in Public-Spot > Server > Operational settings under Device hostname). This name has to be resolved by the DNS server to provide the corresponding IP address of the Public Spot.
