Integrate Private CA

If you want to integrate your own PKI infrastructure with GigaVUE-FM, you must generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and get the CSR signed by the Certificate Authority (CA) and upload it back in GigaVUE-FM.

Rules and Notes

  • The root CA must always be placed in a separate file.
  • When using multiple intermediate CAs, ensure that they are placed in a single file in the correct order. The last intermediate CA in the chain should be placed at the top, followed by the preceding CAs in descending order.

Generate CSR

To create intermediate CA certificate:

  1. Go to > System > Certificates.
  2. In the top navigation bar, from the PKI drop-down list select CSR. The Generate Intermediate CA Certificate page appears.
  3. In the Country field, enter the name of your country.
  4. In the Organization field, enter your organization name.
  5. In the Organization Unit field, enter the department or unit name.
  6. In the Common Name field, enter the common name associated with the certificate.
  7. From the Algorithm drop-down list, select the desired encryption algorithm used to encrypt your private key.
  8. Click the Generate CSR button to create and download the CSR.

The CSR is downloaded successfully.

Upload CA Certificate

Get the CSR signed from your Enterprise PKI or any public PKI and upload the signed intermediate CA certificate to GigaVUE-FM.

To upload the signed CA certificate to GigaVUE-FM:
