Provisioning server certificate guidelines

Last Updated : Jun 04, 2021 |

If you use your provisioning server with the HTTPS protocol and a private certificate authority, upload the root certificate of that certificate authority. If you use a public certificate authority, there is no need to upload a root certificate. You can upload the certificate from the Profile Management section. The certificate is used to establish a secure connection between the device and the provisioning server.

Important:

Device Enrollment Services recommends to use an explicit FQDN in the certificate because some devices might not accept a certificate containing FQDNs with wildcards. For example, *.domain.com.

Non-secure provisioning URL

New Avaya Vantage™ and Avaya J100 Series IP Phones permit an HTTP connection, which is not secure. Here no certificate is required. Examples of the provisioning URL with HTTP are http://192.168.10.87 or http://provisioning.avaya.com if DNS is available.
