I am struggling to get a clear answer from the VSZ documentation on Certificates here:
https://docs.commscope.com/bundle/sz-600-adminguide-sz100vsz/page/GUID-81CE1E39-BB53-49F1-B2B0-A5F5C914F0C9.html
My Scenario:
I have been tasked with renewing a certificate on an existing VSZ installation. The controller currently uses a Comodo-issued certificate.
For reasons outside my control, I believe I will have to coordinate with other people to prove domain ownership to Comodo if I want them to issue another certificate for the host name where the VSZ is hosted.
What I'd much rather do is simply use a self-signed certificate, because its easy to generate one and upload it to the controller. I am somewhat perplexed by the fact that the existing controller does not already use a self-signed certificate. I don't know what reasons the previous maintainer may have had for getting a Comodo-signed cert. I want to make sure I won't break something by switching to a self-signed cert.
Presently, three services use the existing Comodo cert:
- Management Web
- Hotspot (WISPr)
- Ruckus Intra-Device Communication
The existing Comodo cert does NOT have a Root CA, so the new one shouldn't require one either. If I switch from a CA-issued cert to a self-signed cert, what implications will this impose?
