Installing certificates
The RemoteAccess-GATE uses TLS 1.3 for encrypted network traffic with connected
clients. When establishing a connection, the device authenticates itself to the client
with a cryptographic certificate.
IMPORTANT:
The device is shipped with a standard certificate. We strongly rec-
ommend replacing the standard certificate with your own certificate!
The device can independently generate a
(CSR). Alternatively, you can load your own certificate into the device.

You can view the details of the active certificate under

TLS Certificate
Version 1: Creating and activating a self-signed certificate
IMPORTANT:
Before creating a certificate, make sure that the internal clock of the
device is set correctly (see page 9).
A self-signed certificate is the easiest and fastest way to secure the device's network
traffic with an individual certificate.
Due to using a self-signed certificate, your browser and the clients will not trust the
connection by default, because the issuer of the certificate is unknown. After you
save an exception for the publisher in the browser or client, the encrypted connec-
tion can be established.
NOTE:
If you want to use a certificate that is accepted by the browser and client
without requiring any exceptions, create a Certificate Signing Request (see below) and
use it to request the certificate creation from a known certificate authority.
