Single Certificate

A single certificate object represents a single SKIP or IKE identity. A SKIP certificate object has an NSID (name space identifier) and an MKID (master key identifier). An IKE certificate object is identified by the Subject Name DN (Distinguished Name).

You can assign a name to a SKIP or IKE certificate that already exists. The certificate object provides a way to associate a usable name with a SKIP certificate NSID/MKID pair or an IKE DN. This naming facility makes using certificates easier, as well as isolating the Screen configuration from exact SKIP or IKE names. You associate a certificate ID when you want to encrypt communication between two Screens or between a Screen and a remote Administration Station.
