18.4.1.2. Creating a New Root Certificate Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

Navigate in the OpenScape 4000 Assistant start page to Expert Mode > Signaling and Payload Encryption > SPE Root Certificate. The SPE Root Certificate dialog opens.
There are two cases which have to be distinguished:
  • No SPE root certificate exists
  • If no SPE root certificate is created yet, the dialog for creating a SPE root certificate is displayed with empty fields.

    Figure 379. SPE root certificate generation (no SPE root certificate exists)

  • A SPE root certificate already exists
  • If a SPE root certificate is already created, click the New Root Certificate button for creating a new SPE root certificate. A new dialog opens. The data of the existing SPE root certificate are displayed in the entry fields and can modified accordingly for the new SPE root certificate.
    IMPORTANT:
    If you create a new SPE root certificate although a SPE root certificate already exists for this server, the existing SPE root certificate will be overwritten.

  2. To get additional context information related to the individual entry fields, click on the ? icon to the right of each entry field. The context-specific information related to the respective field is displayed as a tooltip in the browser.
  3. Click on Continue. The SPE root certificate will be generated. After the creation of the certificate it is displayed and can be downloaded via a link.
  4. When creating a SPE certificate based on the ECDSA Signature Algorithm, please ensure that all endpoints support ECDSA.
    For example, HG3500 and STMI2/4 boards do not support them.
