Configuring the CAs

Name Configuration name of the CA.
URL The CA's URL.
DN Distinguished name of the device. With this parameter the CAs are assigned to system certificates (and vice versa) on the one hand. On the other hand this parameter is also important for evaluating whether received or available certificates match with the configuration.
Enc-Alg This algorithm encrypts the payload of the certificate request.
- Values: DES, 3-DES, Blowfish.
- Default: DES.
Identifier CA identifier (as required by some web server to identify the CA).
RA-Autoapprove Some CAs provide the option of using an earlier certificate issued by this CA as proof of authenticity for future requests. This option defines whether an existing system certificate should be used to sign new requests.
- Values: Yes, No.
- Default: No.
CA-Signature-Algorithm The certificate request is signed with this algorithm.
- Values: MD5, SHA1.
- Default: MD5.
CA-Fingerprint-Algorithm Algorithm for signing the fingerprint. This determines whether the CA certificate is to be checked by means of fingerprint, and which algorithm is used for this. The CA fingerprint has to agree with the checksum which results when this algorithm is applied.
- Values: Off, MD5, SHA1.
- Default: Off.
CA-Fingerprint The authenticity of a received CA certificate can be checked by means of the the checksum (fingerprint) entered here (corresponding to the set CA fingerprint algorithm).
