Download the Root CA Certificate

Download the root CA certificate from the Roving Edge Device to your host. The host is the system you plan to use to manage services on the device. The root CA certificate acts as a credential to validate the identity of the host, and enables communication between the device and host.

Use one of the following procedures to download the root CA certificate from a Roving Edge Device to your host.

Linux and Mac OS

  1. On your host, use the following command to download the root CA certificate from the device:

    echo -n | openssl s_client -showcerts -connect <RED_ip_address>:8015 | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' > redroot.pem

  2. Based on the OS you're using, perform one of the following actions:

    1. If you're using a Mac OS system on a Safari or Chrome browser, use the MacOS Keychain. Open the Finder and look for the redroot.pem file. Double-click the file and install the certificate.

    2. If you're using a Linux system on a Chrome browser, go to Chrome Settings (or Preferences) > Security and Privacy > Security> Manage certificates > Authorities tab > Import > Browse and choose the redroot.pem file in the location where you created it. Next, click Open and select the Trust this certificate for identifying websites option. The certificate appears in the list of certificate authorities.

Windows

  1. Use the following command to download the root CA certificate from a Roving Edge device:

    execute command - openssl.exe s_client -connect <RED_ip_address>:8015 -showcerts
  2. Copy and paste the root CA certificate from the browser to Notepad and save the file with the filename redroot.cer. The certificate starts with a line containing: BEGIN CERTIFICATE and end with the line containing: END CERTIFICATE
  3. If you're using an Edge or a Chrome browser, perform these steps:
    1. Add the certificate to the trust store by opening the File Explorer and double-clicking the redroot.cer file.
    2. Install the certificate.
    3. Place all certificates in the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities folder.
