Install Custom Certificate
GigaVUE V Series Node, GigaVUE V Series Proxy, and UCT-V Controllers have default self-signed certificates installed. GigaVUE‑FM and the fabric components communicate using these default self-signed certificates. However, you can also add custom certificates, like SSL/TLS certificates, to avoid the trust issues when the GigaVUE V Series Nodes, GigaVUE V Series Proxy, or UCT-V Controllers run through the security scanners.
You can upload the custom certificate in two ways:
- Upload Custom Certificates using GigaVUE-FM
- Upload Custom Certificate using Third-Party Orchestration
Upload Custom Certificates using GigaVUE-FM
To upload the custom certificate using GigaVUE‑FMfollow these steps:
- Go to Inventory > Security > Custom SSL Certificate. The Custom Certificate Configuration page appears.
- On the Custom Certificate Configuration page, select Add. The New Custom Certificate page appears.
- Enter or select the following information.
Certificate Name: Enter the custom certificate name.
Certificate: Select Upload to upload the certificate.
Private Key: Select Upload to upload the private key associated with the certificate.
- Select Save.
You must also add the root or the leaf CA certificate to the Trust Store. For more information, refer to Trust Store.
The certificates uploaded are linked to the respective GigaVUE V Series Node, GigaVUE V Series Proxy, and UCT-V Controller in the Fabric Launch Configuration Page.
For details, refer to Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE-FM topic in the respective cloud guides.
Note: The minimum value for the authentication key encryption length provided during the key generation is 2048.
Upload Custom Certificate using Third-Party Orchestration
You can also upload custom certificates to GigaVUE V Series Nodes, GigaVUE V Series Proxy, and UCT-V Controller using your own cloud platform when deploying the fabric components. For details, refer to the following topics:
