Creating an SSL certificate
Basic configuration of the web application
Use the free implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol OpenSSL to create an SSL
certificate.
The following websites provide detailed information about operating OpenSSL:
OpenSSL project: http://www.openssl.org/
Win32 OpenSSL: http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
OpenSSL manual: http://www.absolute-cool.net/dokus/ssl/openssl/
IMPORTANT: Creating an X509 certificate requires the software OpenSSL. If necessary,
follow the instructions on the websites mentioned above to install the software.
The following pages give information on creating an X509 certificate.
Special features for complex KVM systems
If you want different devices to communicate within a KVM system, use the identical
Certificate Authority (see page 20) to create certificates for those devices.
NOTE: The identical PEM file (see page 23) can also be used for all devices. In this
case, all certificate features are identical.
Creating a Certificate Authority
A Certificate Authority enables the owner to create digital certificates (e. g. for the
matrix switch DVICenter).
How to create a key for the Certificate Authority:
IMPORTANT: The following steps describe how to create keys that are not coded.
If necessary, read the OpenSSL manual to learn how to create a coded key.
1. Enter the following command into the command prompt and press Enter:
openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048
2. OpenSSL creates the key and stores it in a file named ca.key.
