Step 2.

Click CERTIFICATES. Find the certificate and check its Subject column. CN stands
for certificate’s common name (see Figure 17-9 for an example).

Use this procedure to have the ZyWALL use a certificate with a common name that matches the
ZyWALL’s actual IP address. You cannot use this procedure if you need to access the WAN port
and it uses a dynamically assigned IP address.

Step 1.

Create a new certificate for the ZyWALL that uses the IP address (of the ZyWALL’s

port that you are trying to access) as the certificate’s common name. For example, to use
HTTPS to access a LAN port with IP address 192.168.1.1, create a certificate that uses
192.168.1.1 as the common name.

Step 2.

Go to the remote management WWW screen and select the newly created certificate in

the Server Certificate field. Click Apply.

17.4.4 Login Screen

After you accept the certificate, the ZyWALL login screen appears. The lock displayed in the bottom right of
the browser status bar denotes a secure connection.
