AXIS 214 PTZ
To use HTTPS for communication with the AXIS 214 PTZ, a Certificate must be created using one of these
methods:
• A self-signed certificate can be created in the camera,
but this does not guarantee the same level of
security as an official certificate.
• An official certificate issued by a CA (Certificate Authori
ty). A CA issues and manages security
credentials and public keys for message encryption.
1. Click either Create self-signed certificate or Create C
ertificate Request and enter the required
information in the provided fields.
2. Click OK.
3. Create self-signed certificate generates and installs a certificate which will be displayed under
Installed Certificate.
Create Certificate Request generates a PEM formatted request which you copy and send to a CA
for signing. When the signed certificate is returned, click Install signed certificate... to install the
certificate in the AXIS 214 PTZ.
4. Set the HTTPS Connection Policy for the administrator, Operator and Viewer to enable HTTPS
connection (set to HTTP by default).
Please refer to the home page of your pr
eferred CA for information on where to send the request. For more
information, please see the online help.
Security - 802.1x
IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Admission Control. It provides authentication to
devices attached to a network port (wired or wireless), establishing a point-to-point connection, or, if
authentication fails, preventing access on that port. 802.1x is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol).
In a 802.1x enabled network switch, clients equipped with
the correct software can be authenticated and
allowed or denied network access at the Ethernet level.
Clients and servers in an 802.1x network may need to authenticate each other by
some means. In the Axis
implementation this is done with the help of digital certificates provided by a Certification Authority.
These are then validated by a third-party entity, such as a RADIUS server, examples of which are Free
Radius and Microsoft Internet Authentication Service.
To perform the authentication, the RADIUS server uses various
EAP methods/protocols, of which there are
many. The one used in the Axis implementation is EAP-TLS (EAP-Transport Layer Security).
The AXIS network video device presents
its certificate to the network switch, which in turn forwards this to
the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server validates or rejects the certificate and responds to the switch, and
sends its own certificate to the client for validation. The switch then allows or denies network access
accordingly, on a preconfigured port.
RADIUS
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) is
an AAA (Authentication, Authorization and
Accounting) protocol for applications such as network access or IP mobility. It is intended to work in both
local and roaming situations.
CA servers
In cryptography, a Certification Authority
(CA) is an entity that provides signed digital certificates for use
by other parties, and thus acts a trusted third party.
There are many commercial CA’s that charge
for their services. Institutions and governments may have
their own CA, and there are free CA’s available.
