Last Updated : Oct 24, 2019 |
Prolog information
Use the following procedure to distribute the root CA certificate to endpoints in the solution. Certificate distribution is a mandatory part of creating a secure communications solution. For more information, see Security configuration.
  1. Log on to System Manager by using the appropriate credentials.
  2. Navigate to ServicesSecurityCertificates.
  3. Click Authority, and then click CA Structure & CRLs.
  4. Select Download PEM file.
  5. Export the certificate file to a local or network drive.
  6. Incorporate the certificate file into a group configuration file.
  7. Place the group configuration file in a TFTP server the endpoints can access.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note:
    Configure a TFTP server for the endpoints if one has not already been included in the endpoint configuration.
  8. Restart or re-register the endpoint so it will download the group configuration file.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note:
    Refer to the individual UNIStim IP Phone documentation suites for information and procedures on installing the certificate file if installation must be performed manually.
    Important:
    The CA root certificate should be installed in Trusted Root Certification AuthoritiesLocal Machine for the i2050 software endpoint on Microsoft Windows. Certificate Manager attempts to install it in Trusted Root Certification AuthoritiesRegistry by default.
