A server certificate verifies the identity of a server. A server certificate changes every time the server is reconfigured. It binds the certificate name to a public key and this is used to verify the identity of a server.
Important You must update the server certificate every time you change the server name.
The Avaya server provides two server certificates. One certificate is for the service technicians who must log in to many servers. The service technicians’ certificate is issued to the services Ethernet interface address 192.11.13.6, and identifies the certificate authority as the Avaya Call Server. The second certificate is issued to the site-specific server name after it is configured.
You must accept or store the server certificate before you can log in to the Avaya server. Ensure that you have a secure connection to the server.
The Server/Application Certificates page allows you to manage both server and application certificate repositories for the server. The Server/Application Certificates page displays all the installed certificates, and allows you to install, remove and copy an existing certificate to another repository.
Note The server certificate must be signed by at least one of the CAs in the chain of trust. That is, one of the CAs in that certificate must be part of the Messaging trusted certificates repository.
