How to generate HTTPS certificates with openssl

[Gerry_De_la_Cruz]

Hi,
Is it possible to generate security certificates for PTP500/650/670 radios (with AES) using openssl. Been trying to generate DER (private and public keys) but unable to make them work.
Many thanks,
Gerry

Hi Gerry,

We had a very similar request just yesterday. Please see:

Generating RSA Private Key and Public Certificate for HTTPS

I had to post this since the PTPs now require users to generate their own key/certificate, rather than the device doing it for you. The manual offers almost no help in this regard, so here’s the process (feel free to modify) with free program OpenSSL. Please post that you’ve used this and maybe Cambium might add some official help to the manual. Configuration is a “recipe”; unless the ingredients change, it should never change! That’s what a manual is for. So we don’t have to hunt around for hou…

The short answer is “yes, it is possible to generate security certificates for PTP500/650/670 radios”. I guess you were hoping for some detailed procedure. I think it’s best if I try and answer both requests together. Please look to the earlier topic for more information.

Thanks, Mark

Thanks for the suggestion. We don’t recommend using self-signed certificates in the PTP radio. Please see the earlier topic for a longer explanation. We will try to provide a tested recipe for generating keys and certificates.
