After creating a private key and public key, obtain a signed public key certificate file. You can use any of these methods to obtain a signed certificate file.
- Create a certificate by self-signing. See Obtaining a self-signed certificate.
- Obtain a certificate from the certificate authority that is used by your company.
- Request an official certificate from an SSL certificate authority. See Obtaining a signed and trusted certificate.
Note:
When you send a request to a certificate authority, specify the SVP or GUM as the host name.
Hitachi recommends that self-signed certificates be used only for testing encrypted communication.
