The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 73   Security > Certificates > My Certificates > Create

Certificate Name

Type up to 31 ASCII characters (not including spaces) to identify this 

certificate. 

Subject Information

Use these fields to record information that identifies the owner of the 

certificate. You do not have to fill in every field, although the Common Name 

is mandatory. The certification authority may add fields (such as a serial 

number) to the subject information when it issues a certificate. It is 

recommended that each certificate have unique subject information.

Common Name 

Select a radio button to identify the certificate’s owner by IP address, domain 

name or e-mail address. 

Host IP Address

Type the IP address (in dotted decimal notation), domain name or e-mail 

address in the field provided. 

Host Domain Name

Type the domain name here. It can be up to 31 English keyboard characters 

long. It is for identification purposes only and can be any string.

Email

Type the email address here. It can be up to 31 English keyboard characters 

long. It 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 P-660HWP-Dx 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 P-660HWP-Dx 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 P-660HWP-Dx 

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 P-660HWP-Dx 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 P-660HWP-Dx 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 (see 

) 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 P-660HWP-Dx 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.
