AXIS P3214-V Network CameraSystem OptionsHTTPSHTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a web protocol providing encrypted browsing.HTTPS can also be used by users and clients to verify that the correct device is being accessed. The security level provided byHTTPS is considered adequate for most commercial exchanges.The 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 Certificates on page 47.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 Certificates on page 47. Many CA certificatesare preinstalled.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.
