SSL certificate

For a secure connection between the integrated web server of the Kentix device and a browser, an SSL certificate can be loaded onto the device. The file that is uploaded contains the certificate and a key. These can be generated with OpenSSL, for example.

If you do not use your own certificate, KentixONE secures the SSL connections with a self-signed certificate.

Example for creating a self-signed certificate with OpenSSL

# Temporären Ordner erstellen

$ mkdir ~/Desktop/cert

# Zertifikat und Keydatei erstellen

$ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout ~/Desktop/cert/key.pem -out ~/Desktop/cert/cert.pem \ -days 999 -subj
„/C=DE/ST=RP/L=Idar-Oberstein/O=Kentix GmbH/OU=Org/CN=192.168.100.222“ -nodes

# Kombinieren der Keydatei und des Zertifikats

$ cat ~/Desktop/cert/key.pem ~/Desktop/cert/cert.pem > ~/Desktop/cert/server.pem
