17.15 Directory Servers
Click Security > Certificates > Directory Servers to open the Directory Servers screen.
This screen displays a summary list of directory servers (that contain lists of valid and revoked
certificates) that have been saved into the ZyXEL Device. If you decide to have the ZyXEL
Device check incoming certificates against the issuing certification authority’s list of revoked
certificates, the ZyXEL Device first checks the server(s) listed in the CRL Distribution
Points field of the incoming certificate. If the certificate does not list a server or the listed
server is not available, the ZyXEL Device checks the servers listed here.
MD5 Fingerprint
This is the certificate’s message digest that the ZyXEL Device calculated using
the MD5 algorithm. You cannot use this value to verify that this is the remote
host’s actual certificate because the ZyXEL Device has signed the certificate;
thus causing this value to be different from that of the remote hosts actual
for how to verify a remote host’s
certificate.
SHA1 Fingerprint
This is the certificate’s message digest that the ZyXEL Device calculated using
the SHA1 algorithm. You cannot use this value to verify that this is the remote
host’s actual certificate because the ZyXEL Device has signed the certificate;
thus causing this value to be different from that of the remote hosts actual
for how to verify a remote host’s
certificate.
