Using smart certificates / Tutorials |
This tutorial describes how you enable a CA (certificate authority) on a LANCOM router and how the CA helps you to create and use new certificates for a VPN connection between two LANCOM routers (manual certificate distribution).
With the Create new certificate button you start the process that generates a new certificate.
Once you have entered all the necessary information, you create the certificate by clicking the button Enroll (Pkcs12). The dialog for saving the Pkcs12 file appears automatically once the certificate has been created on the device. This process can take several seconds.

In the next step you select the Pkcs12 file that contains the certificate that you want to use for this VPN endpoint.
Enter the password that you have set for the file in step 2.c.
Finally, start the upload.
