When using Configuration Manager, each device has a status icon.
The method below shows you how to generate an updated certificate for Bosch IP Camera's and VRM Servers
Step-by-step guide
Here we are talking about Certificates, the Icon is colored Yellow with an exclamation mark.
-
Using the mouse over Tooltip, the device is saying exactly what is wrong with the certificate connection.
VRM on a DIVAR IP 5000:IP Camera:Right click on the device to Show Certificates, if you wish to view them. -
We can see that there are multiple things wrong.The Cert is not TrustedInconsistent DateCert Name mismatch.
-
First is inconsistent date:
All IP devices and PC’s must be synchronized on Date time page (group General) -
Second is invalid certificate
-
First quick look on certificate requirement level, navigate to Preferences -> Configuration Manager -> Access -> Security:
-
The certificate must just be valid - self signed certificate matching host name/IP address will be sufficient.
-
-
We need to generate a new certificate on Certificate page.
Clicking "Generate certificate" button:should open a certificate creation dialog - most important options are matching common name and matching validity time.After the certificate is created correct usage must be set as shown below:
IP Camera Certificate

-
-
To apply changes VRM must be restarted.
If certificate requirement is higher, then a valid table chain of certification must be used (This would be setup by a System Integrator or IT Administrator):
-
Trusted - the signing entity CA (e.g. VeriSign) must be trusted on target PC
-
Issued by this CA - There is a Micro CA setup on this PC.
