The <b>Root CA</b> section is used to add a root CA certificate file to the device. There is a default file already preloaded on the device which will be overwritten by any uploaded file. The certificates must be in .pem format, maximum file size is 300 KB. These certificates are only needed if you want to use HTTPS for your services and the default file should be sufficient in most cases.

When email related services{{#ifeq:{{{events_reporting}}}|0|&nbsp;|&nbsp;(such as [[{{{name}}} Events Reporting|Events Reporting]])&nbsp;}}are used, the device logs in to the specified email account and reads the inbox (e.g., Email to SMS) or sends out a message (e.g., SMS to Email) depending on the configured service. In this context, an <b>Email Account</b> is an configuration instance that contains the necessary data required in order to log into an email account.
 +

The email accounts list is empty by default thus, you must first add at least one new account before you can configure it. To create and begin editing an email account, follow these steps:

==Certificates==
 +
 
 +
The <b>Certificates</b> page is used for convenient TLS certificate and key generation and management. Generated files can be exported and used on other machines or locally on this device with functions that use TLS/SSL, such as {{#ifeq:{{{mqtt}}}|0||[[{{{name}}} MQTT|MQTT]],&nbsp;}}[[{{{name}}} VPN#OpenVPN|OpenVPN]], [[{{{name}}} VPN#IPsec|IPsec]] and others.
 +
 
 +
===Certificate Generation===
 +
----
 +
The <b>Certificate Generation</b> tab provides the possibility to generate TLS certificates required for secure authentication and communication encryption used by some of the devices services.
 +
 
 +
There are five distinct generation methods (denoted by the selected 'File Type').
 +
 
 +
<ol>
 +
    <li><b>Simple</b> - generates and signs a set of 2048 bit certificate and key files that include:
 +
        <ul>
 +
            <li>Certificate Authority (CA)</li>
 +
            <li>Server certificate & key</li>
 +
            <li>Client certificate & key</li>
 +
            <li>DH Parameters</li>
 +
        </ul>The CA file generated with this option automatically signs the certificates. In short, this option is used for convenience as it doesn't let the user set any additional parameters for the certificate files. Therefore, it should be used only when no other specific requirements are expected.
 +
    </li>
 +
    <li><b>CA</b> - generates a Certificate Authority (CA) file. A CA is a type of certificate file that certifies the ownership of a public key by the named subject of the certificate. In other words, it assures clients that they are connecting to a trusted server and vice versa.</li>
 +
    <li><b>Server</b> - generates a server certificate and key. A server certificate validates a server's identity to connecting clients, while a key is responsible for encryption.</li>
 +
    <li><b>Client</b> - generates a client certificate and key. A client certificate validates a client's identity to the server that it's connecting to, while a key is responsible for encryption.</li>
 +
    <li><b>DH Parameters</b> - generates a Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters file. DH parameters are used in symmetric encryption to protect and define how OpenSSL key exchange is performed.</li>
 +
</ol>
 +
 
 +
====Generation Parameters====
 +
----
 +
Generating each type of file (excluding 'Simple') requires setting some parameters. This section provides an overview for parameters used in TLS certificate generation.
 
----
 
----
[[File:{{{file_access_webui}}}]]
+
<b>Core parameters</b> or simply parameters that apply to each file type are the size and common name of the generated file(s).

 +
 
 +
====Certificate Import====

The <b>Certificates</b>, <b>Keys</b> and </b>Requests</b> section display files generated on or imported to the device along with the most important information related to them.

By default, the lists are empty. A set certificates generated using 'Simple' file type would look something like this:

[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_administartion_certificates_certificates_manager_certificate_list_v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]

The 'Export' buttons are used to download the files from the device onto your local machine. The 'X' buttons located to the right of each entry are used to delete related files.
 +
 
 +
==Unsaved changes==
   −
The <b>Root CA</b> section is used to add a root CA certificate file to the router. There is a default file already preloaded on the device which will be overwritten by any uploaded file. The certificates must be in .pem format, maximum file size is 300 KB. These certificates are only needed if you want to use HTTPS for your services and the default file should be sufficient in most cases.
+
The <b>Unsaved changes</b> section is used to see and apply or revert all unsaved changes.
