You can use the APC Security Wizard, provided on the APC Battery
Management System Utility CD, to create a certificate signing request to an
external Certificate Authority, or if you do not want to use an existing
Certificate Authority, you can create an APC root certificate to upload to a
browser’s certificate store (cache). You can also use the Wizard to create a
server certificate to upload to the Battery Management System.
SSL also uses various algorithms and encryption ciphers to authenticate
the server, encrypt data, and ensure the integrity of the data (i.e., that it has
not been intercepted and sent by another server).
See
Creating and Installing Digital Certificates
for a summary of
how these certificates are used.
To create certificates and certificate requests, see
See
to select which authentication and encryption
algorithms to use.
