Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol that creates an encrypted connection between devices.
It also provides authentication and message integrity services. SSL is used widely for secure
communication to a Web server, and also for wireless authentication.
SSL certificates identify the EDS3000 devices to peers and are used with some methods of
wireless authentication. Provide a name at upload time to identify certificates on the EDS3000
devices.
You can upload Certificate and Private key combinations, obtained from an external Certificate
Authority (CA), to the EDS3000 devices. The EDS3000 devices can also generate self-signed
certificates with associated private keys.
Credentials

RSA and DSA certificate formats. When you generate certificates, assign them a credential name
to help identify them on the EDS3000 devices. Once you create your credentials, then configure
them with the desired certificates.
