Label Description
PKI Storage
Space in Use
This bar displays the percentage of the Business Secure Router’s PKI
storage space that is currently in use. The bar turns from green to red
when the maximum is being approached. When the bar is red, consider
deleting expired or unnecessary certificates before adding more
certificates.
Replace This button displays when the Business Secure Router has the factory
default certificate. The factory default certificate is common to all
Business Secure Routers that use certificates. Nortel recommends that
you use this button to replace the factory default certificate with one that
uses your Business Secure Router's MAC address.
# This field displays the certificate index number. The certificates are
listed in alphabetical order.
Name This field displays the name used to identify this certificate. Nortel
recommends that you give each certificate a unique name.
Type This field displays what kind of certificate this is.
REQ represents a certification request and is not yet a valid certificate.
Send a certification request to a certification authority, which then
issues a certificate. Use the My Certificate Import screen to import the
certificate and replace the request.
SELF represents a self-signed certificate.
*SELF represents the default self-signed certificate, which the Business
Secure Router uses to sign imported trusted remote host certificates.
CERT represents a certificate issued by a certification authority.
Subject This field displays identifying information about the certificate’s owner,
such as CN (Common Name), OU (Organizational Unit or department),
O (Organization or company) and C (Country). Nortel recommends that
each certificate have unique subject information.
Issuer This field displays identifying information about the certificate’s issuing
certification authority, such as a common name, organizational unit or
department, organization, or company and country. With self-signed
certificates, this is the same information as in the Subject field.
Valid From This field displays the date that the certificate becomes applicable. The
text displays in red and includes a Not Yet Valid! message if the
certificate has not yet become applicable.
Valid To This field displays the date that the certificate expires. The text displays
in red and includes an Expiring! or Expired! message if the certificate is
about to expire or has already expired.
