You can configure the IP Office platform to use certificates as follows:
An identity certificate for each system and their local applications, including an optional separate identity certificate for management and telephony interfaces.
Unique identity certificate self-generated by all systems when required.
You can administer certificates using IP Office Manager or IP Office Web Manager, or obtain them automatically using Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) or PKCS#10 (IP Office Linux only).
DER and PEM for certificate file import/export, and PKCS#12 for certificate/private key pair import/export.
A Certificate Authority on the Primary and Application Server including Subject Alternative Name support.
The certificate processing can support 1024, 2048 and 4096 bit public RSA keys, and SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-224 and SHA-512 hashes.
A Trusted Certificate Store (TCS) of 64 entries minimum.
Configurable default TCS content, restored on security settings reset.
Individual per-service controls to enforce mutual certificate authentication where the client's certificate is requested and tested.
Separate management and telephony received certificate check levels that provide increasingly rigorous tests. This includes a 'high' setting that tests not only the trust chain but also the presence of the received certificate in the TCS.
Intermediate CA certificate support, both for the CAs and the identity certificate chain offered by IP Office and its applications.
Errors, alarms, and warnings to help identify certificate issues.
