AXIS P1357-E Network CameraAbout system optionsThe Axis product can be configured to require HTTPS when users from different user groups (administrator, operator, viewer) log in.To use HTTPS, an HTTPS certificate must first be installed. Go to System Options > Security > Certificates to install and managecertificates. See .To enable HTTPS on the Axis product:1. Go to System Options > Security > HTTPS2. Select an HTTPS certificate from the list of installed certificates.3. Optionally, click Ciphers and select the encryption algorithms to use for SSL.4. Set the HTTPS Connection Policy for the different user groups.5. Click Save to enable the settings.To access the Axis product via the desired protocol, in the address field in a browser, enter https:// for the HTTPS protocoland http:// for the HTTP protocol.The HTTPS port can be changed on the System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced page.IEEE 802.1XIEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless networkdevices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devices must be authenticated. The authentication is performed by an authenticationserver, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft Internet Authentication Service.In Axis implementation, the Axis product and the authentication server identify themselves with digital certificates using EAP-TLS(Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certificates are provided by a Certification Authority (CA).You need:• a CA certificate to authenticate the authentication server.• a CA-signed client certificate to authenticate the Axis product.To create and install certificates, go to System Options > Security > Certificates. See .To allow the product to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X:1. Go to System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X.2. Select a CA Certificate and a Client Certificate from the lists of installed certificates.3. Under Settings, select the EAPOL version and provide the EAP identity associated with the client certificate.4. Check the box to enable IEEE 802.1X and click Save.NoteFor authentication to work properly, the date and time settings in the Axis product should be synchronized with an NTPserver. See Date & Time on page 48.CertificatesCertificates are used to authenticate devices on a network. Typical applications include encrypted web browsing (HTTPS), networkprotection via IEEE 802.1X and secure upload of images and notification messages for example via email. Two types of certificatescan be used with the Axis product:Server/Client certificates - To authenticate the Axis product.CA certificates - To authenticate peer certificates, for example the certificate of an authentication server in case the Axis product isconnected to an IEEE 802.1X protected network.47
