SSL Certificate
In order to utilize the iRecord/NCAtrak integration, you must have a SSL certificate that can be installed on to the iRecord Web Browser IIS site.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) encrypt data transmitted between a user's browser and a web server, ensuring that sensitive information are protected.
An SSL certificate, full path with private key, is required to utilize iRecord Web via HTTPs with Remote viewing. Ideally your organization already has a client certificate installed on all user machines that will trust the certificate for iRecord or you utilize a widely trusted certificate. Work with your team who manages certificates to create a CSR and obtain the certificate that will be configured in IIS.
If your organization already has certificates used internally or publicly, such as a wildcard certificate, it can be purposed for this functionality.
iRecord Support can take the .pfx or .cer version of the certificate and get it configured for iRecord Web Browser by binding it in IIS.
Certificate Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the customer to generate or purchase a certificate. iRecord and NCAtrak are available to help with the decision process and collaborate with any additional teams.
Is it hard to get an SSL certificate?
It does not require any complex IT knowledge to secure your websites. All you need is a reliable and trustworthy certificate authority to issue your SSL certificate.
Types of SSL certificates
Domain Validation (DV), Organization Validated (OV), Extended Validation (EV), Wildcard, Multi-Domain, and
Unified Communications (UCC).
Who gives the SSL Certificate
SSL certificates are issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs). These CAs are organizations trusted by web browsers and other software to verify the identity of a website and its owners. If you do not have an SSL Certificate you can purchase one from the below vendors. A wildcard certificate downloaded as a IIS version file folder is preferred and what will be provided to iRecord.
