Summary

Some services (such as OpenVPN, MQTT, etc.) on Teltonika Networks devices can be secured using TLS for encryption and authentication. This page discusses where one can obtain TLS certificates and key for this purpose.

Certificate generation

If you are using a third party service that requires TLS, all necessary files should be provided by the provider of that service. However, if you are setting up your own solution you may find use in of the TLS certificate generation methods described below.

Teltonika Networks device

The easiest way to generate certificates and keys is by using the Certificate Generation page that is available in the device's WebUI:

System → Administration → Certificates

Computer

You can also use third party software to generate the certificates on your computer. Guides are available for:

-Services like HTTPS, OpenVPN, MQTT sometimes use TLS certificates for authentication. If you're setting up a custom system, you can generate TLS certificates by yourself with the RUTxxx router or a Linux OS system. Detailed instruction on how to do that are provided in our '''[[How to generate TLS certificates (Windows)?|How to generate TLS certificates?]]''' guide.
