NWA-3160 Series User’s Guide

Common Name 

Select a radio button to identify the certificate’s owner by IP 
address, domain name or e-mail address. Type the IP address (in 
dotted decimal notation), domain name or e-mail address in the 
field provided. The domain name or e-mail address can be up to 31 
ASCII characters. The domain name or e-mail address is for 
identification purposes only and can be any string.

Organizational Unit Type up to 127 characters to identify the organizational unit or 

department to which the certificate owner belongs. You may use any 
character, including spaces, but the NWA drops trailing spaces.

Organization

Type up to 127 characters to identify the company or group to which 
the certificate owner belongs. You may use any character, including 
spaces, but the NWA drops trailing spaces.

Country

Type up to 127 characters to identify the nation where the certificate 
owner is located. You may use any character, including spaces, but 
the NWA drops trailing spaces.

Key Length

Select a number from the drop-down list box to determine how 
many bits the key should use (512 to 2048). The longer the key, the 
more secure it is. A longer key also uses more PKI storage space.

Enrollment Options These radio buttons deal with how and when the certificate is to be 

generated.

Create a self-
signed certificate

Select Create a self-signed certificate to have the NWA generate 
the certificate and act as the Certification Authority (CA) itself. This 
way you do not need to apply to a certification authority for 
certificates.

Create a 
certification 
request and save it 
locally for later 
manual enrollment 

Select Create a certification request and save it locally for 
later manual enrollment to have the NWA generate and store a 
request for a certificate. Use the My Certificate Details screen to 
view the certification request and copy it to send to the certification 
authority. 

Copy the certification request from the My Certificate Details 
screen (

) and then send it to the 

certification authority.

Create a 
certification 
request and enroll 
for a certificate 
immediately online

Select Create a certification request and enroll for a 
certificate immediately online to have the NWA generate a 
request for a certificate and apply to a certification authority for a 
certificate. 

You must have the certification authority’s certificate already 
imported in the Trusted CAs screen.

When you select this option, you must select the certification 
authority’s enrollment protocol and the certification authority’s 
certificate from the drop-down list boxes and enter the certification 
authority’s server address. You also need to fill in the Reference 
Number and Key if the certification authority requires them.
