Setting name | Description | |
Certification name | Enter a unique name for the certificate request, such as fortirecorder.example.com. This can be the name of your appliance. | |
Subject Information | ||
ID Type | Select the type of identifier to use in the certificate to identify the FortiRecorder appliance: • Host IP — Select if the FortiRecorder appliance has a static IP address and enter the public IP address of the FortiRecorder appliance in the IP field. If the FortiRecorder appliance does not have a public IP address, use E-Mail or Domain Name instead. • Domain Name — Select if the FortiRecorder appliance has a static IP address and subscribes to a dynamic DNS service. Enter the FQDN of the FortiRecorder appliance, such as fortirecorder.example.com, in the Domain Name field. Do not include the protocol specification (http://) or any port number or path names. • E-Mail — Select and enter the email address of the owner of the FortiRecorder appliance in the E-mail field. Use this if the appliance does not require either a static IP address or a domain name. The type you should select varies by whether or not your FortiRecorder appliance has a static IP address, a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN), and by the primary intended use of the certificate. For example, if your FortiRecorder appliance has both a static IP address and a domain name, but you will primarily use the local certificate for HTTPS connections to the web UI by the domain name of the FortiRecorder appliance, you might prefer to generate a certificate based upon the domain name of the FortiRecorder appliance, rather than its IP address. | |
IP | Type the static IP address of the FortiRecorder appliance, such as 10.0.0.1. The IP address should be the one that is visible to clients.

This option appears only if ID Type is Host IP. | |
Domain Name | Type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the FortiRecorder appliance, such as www.example.com. The domain name must resolve to the static IP address of the FortiRecorder appliance or protected server. For more information, see “NVR configuration”. This option appears only if ID Type is Domain Name. | |
E-mail | Type the email address of the owner of the FortiRecorder appliance, such as admin@example.com. This option appears only if ID Type is E-Mail. | |
