SSL User Configuration

Version 11.1 by Craig Lewis on 2024/10/07 18:08

Crestron devices that support SSL may require the use of a secure connection between the processor and the device (ex: GWEXER/touchpanel).  To use a secure connection there must be a user on the processor (authentication enabled) with right to Connect ("Connects" group).

Instructions:

  • Processor 
    • Authentication Enabled (if not already)
    • Create a user for the device to use

      • adduser -n:cresdev -p:CresDevPass1234!
      • Password requires at least one number and one special character on newer firmware
    • Add user to group "Connects"
