4. Configuring TLS/SSL Certificates for Unified Access Gateway Appliances

Configuring TLS/SSL Certificates for Unified Access Gateway Appliances

TLS/SSL is required for client connections to Unified Access Gateway appliances. Client-facing Unified Access Gateway appliances and intermediate servers that terminate TLS/SSL connections require TLS/SSL server certificates.

TLS/SSL server certificates are signed by a Certificate Authority (CA). A CA is a trusted entity that guarantees the identity of the certificate and its creator. When a certificate is signed by a trusted CA, users no longer receive messages asking them to verify the certificate, and thin client devices can connect without requiring additional configuration. A default TLS/SSL server certificate is generated when you deploy a Unified Access Gateway appliance.

Up to this point the Unified Access Gateway appliance is using the default certificate, which is not signed by a trusted CA.

Click the gear icon for TLS Server Certificate Settings under Advanced Settings.
