Import Root Certificate

Overview

This function updates the root certificate that is used for SSL communication with the AIS Connect server.

A one root certificate includes multiple certificates. The maximum file size of a root certificate is 12288 byte.

Caution

  • A default root certificate is already registered in the storage system. Check the expiration date of the default root certificate from the [Root Certificate] screen. The root certificate must be updated before the expiration date. This function overwrites the root certificate. Only the latest root certificate is saved in the storage system.

  • The root certificate cannot be updated when both the "AIS Connect" setting and the "SSL Server Certification" setting are enabled. To update the root certificate while the AIS Connect function is being used, temporarily disable the "AIS Connect" setting and then update the certificate. The current settings for "AIS Connect" and "SSL Server Certification" can be checked from the [AIS Connect] screen. Refer to the [AIS Connect] function for details.

Note

  • The root certificate is only used for authentication with the AIS Connect server.

  • The expiration date of the updated root certificate can be checked from the [Root Certificate] screen. Refer to the [Root Certificate] function for details.
