Associate MKID

Associating the Master Key Identity (MKID, also called the certificate ID) provides a way for you to assign a name to a certificate that exists on another machine. You associate a Certificate ID when you want to encrypt communication between two Screens or between a Screen and an Administration Station.

Use the fields in the Certificate dialog to enter the information for associating the MKID.

• Name Specifies the name for the MKID object.
• Description (Optional) Provides a brief description about the MKID object.
• Screen Specifies which Screen recognizes the MKID object. The default is all. Note: Specifying a Screen allows you to define packet filter rules that encrypt traffic between any two machines, not just between an Administration Station and a Screen.
• Certificate ID Specifies the MKID (hash value) for the certificate that you generated on the other system.
