When configuring the Ericsson Cradlepoint device as a certificate authority (CA), it is helpful to be familiar with certificate definitions and concepts:
CA Certificate: This certificate is used to generate (sign) the server and client certificates.
Server Certificate: This certificate is used to verify the identity of the server. This certificate is signed by the CA certificate.
Client Certificate: This certificate is used to verify the identity of the client. Like the server certificate, this certificate is also signed by the CA certificate.
TLS (SSL): The encryption standard used for securing certificates.
