Introduction
Certificate is an important element in deploying a solution that ensures the integrity and privacy
of communications involving Yealink IP phones.
Three types of certificates are pre-loaded on Yealink IP phones and comply with X.509 standard.
 A unique device certificate: It is installed at the time of manufacture and is unique to an

IP phone (based on the MAC address) and issued by the Yealink Certificate Authority (CA).
This certificate is available on Yealink IP phones running firmware version 72 or later.
 A generic device certificate: It is installed by default and is issued by the Yealink

Certificate Authority (CA). If no unique certificate exists, the IP phone may send a generic
certificate for authentication.
 Trusted certificates (Certificate Authority certificates): For SIP VP-T49G IP phones, there
are 30 trusted certificates installed by default. For SIP-T58V/T58A/T56A/CP960 IP phones
there are 186 trusted certificates installed by default. For
SIP-T54S/T52S/T48G/T48S/T46G/T46S/T42G/T42S/T41P/T41S/T40P/T40G/T29G/T27P/T27
G/T23P/T23G/T21(P) E2/T19(P) E2 and CP920 IP phones, there are 77 trusted certificates
installed by default. For CP860, W52P, W56P and W60 IP phones, there are 76 trusted
certificates installed by default. Refer to Appendix B Trusted Certificate Authority List for
more information.
Note The IP phone does not have the unique device certificate by upgrading firmware version to 72.

The following shows an example of a Yealink generic certificate. For the information on fields of
X.509 certificate, refer to Appendix A X.509 Certificate Structure.
Configuring Trusted Certificates on Yealink IP Phones

When an IP phone requests an SSL connection with a server, the IP phone should verify that
whether the server can be trusted. The server sends its certificate to the IP phone and the IP
phone verifies this certificate based on its trusted certificates list. The SIP VP-T49G IP phones
have 30 built-in trusted certificates. The SIP- SIP-T58V/T58A/T56A/ CP960 IP phones have 186
built-in trusted certificates. The SIP-
SIP-T54S/T52S/T48G/T48S/T46G/T46S/T42G/T42S/T41P/T41S/T40P/T40G/T29G/T27P/T27G/T2
3P/T23G/T21(P) E2/T19(P) E2 and CP920 IP phones have 77 built-in trusted certificates. The
CP860, W52P, W56P and W60 IP phones have 76 built-in trusted certificates. For more
information, refer to Appendix B Trusted Certificate Authority List. The IP phone supports
uploading 10 custom trusted certificates (CA certificates) at most. For more information on
customizing a trusted certificate, refer to Appendix C Creating Custom Certificates.
Note For the IP phone to determine whether a certificate is within its valid time range, check that the
time and date on the phone are configured properly.

Configuring Device Certificates on Yealink IP Phones

When a client requests an SSL connection with an IP phone, the IP phone sends a device
certificate to the client for authentication. For new IP phones boxed with firmware version 72 or
later, there are two built-in device certificates: a unique and a generic device certificate. For IP
phones running firmware version prior to 72, there is only one built-in device certificate: a
generic device certificate. The IP phone supports uploading one custom device certificate at
most. The old custom device certificate will be overridden by the new one. For more information
on customizing a device certificate, refer to Appendix C Creating Custom Certificates.
Configuring Device Certificates via Web User Interface

Using Certificates on Yealink IP Phones

Certificates are used in mutual TLS authentication. It allows the server and the IP phone to
authenticate each other. This could be used for tasks like HTTPS provisioning or SIPs signaling.
11
If you intend to use certificates on Yealink IP phones, they must exist on the IP phones.
Certificates issued by Yealink Certificate Authority (CA) are pre-loaded on Yealink IP phones and
a custom certificate can be uploaded to Yealink IP phones. You can check whether a built-in
device certificate is installed on your phone via web/phone user interface. A built-in device
certificate can be either a unique certificate (based on the MAC address) or a generic certificate.
Each certificate is issued by the Yealink Certificate Authority (CA), so a server can verify that a
device is truly a Yealink device (not a malicious device or software masquerading as a Yealink
device).
To check whether a built-in device certificate is installed on your phone via phone user
interface:
1. Press OK or Menu->Status.
2. Press to scroll to More and then press the Enter soft key.
3. Select Phone.
4. Press to scroll to Device Cert and read status.
 If the status is Factory Installed, it means there is a valid device certificate installed on
your phone. If your IP phone is running firmware version 71, the valid certificate is a
generic certificate. If your IP phone is running firmware version 72 or later, the valid
certificate is a unique certificate.
12
 If the status is Not Installed, it means there is no valid device certificate installed on your
phone.
Note The followings you need to know:

 It is not possible to modify or delete the built-in device certificates.
 Resetting the IP phone to factory defaults will not affect the built-in device certificates at all.
The built-in device certificates and associated private keys are stored on the IP phone in its
non-volatile memory as part of the manufacturing process.
 Resetting the IP phone to factory defaults will delete custom certificates by default. But this
feature is determined by the value of the parameter “phone_setting.reserve_certs_enable”
or “static.phone_setting.reserve_certs_enable”. It is only applicable to
SIP-T48G/T46G/T42G/T41P IP phones running firmware version 73 or later and SIP
VP-T49G/T40P/T29G/T27P/T23P/T23G/T21(P) E2/T19(P) E2/CP860 IP phones running
firmware version 80 or later. The parameter “static.phone_setting.reserve_certs_enable” is
only applicable to CP960/SIP-T58V/T58A/T56A and
SIP-T54S/T52S/T48G/T48S/T46G/T46S/T42G/T42S/T41P/T41S/T40P/T40G/T29G/T27P/T27
G/T23P/T23G/T21(P) E2/T19(P) E2, CP860, CP920, W60, W52P and W56P IP phones running
firmware version 81 or later.
 Resetting the IP phone to factory defaults will reset trusted and server certificates settings
by default. But this feature is determined by the value of the parameter
“phone_setting.reserve_certs_config.enable”. It is only applicable to IP phones running
firmware version 83 or later.
 Firmware upgrade from version 71 to 72 will result in update of the generic device
certificate.
When the IP phone initiates an SSL connection, we consider it as a client. The server will send its
certificate to the IP phone and the IP phone verifies this certificate. If “Mutual TLS Authentication
Required” is enabled on your server, the IP phone should send its certificate to the server as well.
The client certificate is the same as the server certificate.
The following shows a scenario of a mutual TLS authentication. In this scenario, the IP phone
acts as a client and connects to the HTTPS server for provisioning.
To use custom device certificates for mutual TLS authentication:
1. Create CA, server and client certificates. For more information, refer to Appendix C Creating
Custom Certificates.
2. Install CA and server certificates on your server. For more information, refer to the online
resource.
3. Upload a CA certificate (trusted certificate) and a client certificate (device certificate) on

your IP phone. For more information, refer to Configuring Trusted Certificates on Yealink IP
Phones and Configuring Device Certificates on Yealink IP Phones.
4. Check if Only Accept Trusted Certificates option has been enabled on the IP phone.
- If Yes, go to step 5.
- If No, please enable Only Accept Trusted Certificates option. For more information,
refer to Configuring Trusted Certificates on Yealink IP Phones.
5. Check if CA Certificates option has been configured as Custom Certificates or All

Certificates on the IP phone.
13
- If No, please configure CA Certificates option. For more information, refer to

Configuring Trusted Certificates on Yealink IP Phones.
6. Check if Device Certificates option has been configured as Custom Certificates on the IP
phone.
- If No, please configure Device Certificates option. For more information, refer to
Configuring Device Certificates on Yealink IP Phones.
7. Make sure that “Mutual TLS Authentication Required” is enabled on your server.
8. Make sure that auto provisioning URL on the IP phone begins with https, e.g.,
“https://mydomain.com/autop/”.
9. Configure auto provisioning settings. For example, mark the On radio box in the Power On
field, and then reboot the IP phone. The IP phone will perform auto provisioning with
mutual TLS authentication.
For more information on auto provisioning, refer to the latest Auto Provisioning Guide for your
phone on Yealink Technical Support.
Appendix A X.509 Certificate Structure

Note Yealink endeavors to maintain a built-in list of the most commonly used CA Certificates. Due to
memory constraints, we cannot ensure a complete set of certificates. If you are using a certificate
from a commercial Certificate Authority not in the list above, you can send a request to your local
distributor. At this point, you can upload your particular CA certificate into your phone. For more
information on uploading a custom CA certificate, refer to Configuring Trusted Certificates on
Yealink IP Phones.
The certificates from 78 to 187 are only applicable to SIP-T58V/T58A/T56A/CP960 IP phones.
Appendix C Creating Custom Certificates

You can create and use your own CA to issue certificates. This requires a tool that supports SSL
and TLS protocols. We recommend you to use OpenSSL on Linux. The OpenSSL software is
available for free online: http://www.openssl.org/source/. If Windows is required, we
recommend you to use the apache server with OpenSSL. The software is available for free online:
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi. Be sure to install OpenSSL before you read the following
instructions. For more information, refer to the network resource.
This appendix includes information on:
 Creating a self-signed CA
 Issuing certificates
To create a self-signed CA:
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Execute the following command to create a RSA private key for your CA:
[root@localhost openssl-0.9.8k]#openssl genrsa -out ca.key 1024
Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus
..........++++++
............++++++
21
e is 65537 (0x10001)
The command will generate a ca.key file.
3. Execute the following command to create a self-signed CA certificate with the RSA private
key:
[root@localhost openssl-0.9.8k]#openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key ca.key -out ca.crt
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your
certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank. For some fields there will be a
default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [US]:CN
State or Province Name (full name) [Wisconsin]:FJ
Locality Name (eg, city) [Madison]:XM
Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]: Yealink
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:Yealink CA
Email Address []:[email protected]
You will be prompted to enter a few attributes (e.g., State, organization or Common Name
(CN)). The command will generate a self-signed X.509 certificate valid for ten years (3650
days).
You can execute the following command to see the details of this certificate.
[root@localhost openssl-0.9.8k]#openssl x509 -noout -text -in ca.crt
A server certificate is a digital certificate issued to a server by a CA. It verifies the server’s identity
for the client so that the client can securely browse the server. After the server certificate is
issued, you need to install the certificate on the server.
To issue a server certificate:
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Execute the following command to create a RSA private key for your server:
[root@localhost openssl-0.9.8k]#openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024
Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus
..............................................++++++
........++++++
e is 65537 (0x10001)
The command will generate a server.key file.
3. Execute the following command to create a server Certificate Signing Request (CSR) with
the server RSA private key:
[root@localhost openssl-0.9.8k]# openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
22
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your
certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank. For some fields there will be a
default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [US]:CN
State or Province Name (full name) [Wisconsin]:FJ
Locality Name (eg, city) [Madison]:XM
Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:Yealink
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:
Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:server.yealink.com
Email Address []:[email protected]
Please enter the following 'extra' attributes
to be sent with your certificate request
A challenge password []:1234567890
An optional company name []:
You will be prompted to enter a few attributes (e.g., State, organization or Common Name
(CN)). The command will generate a server.csr file.
Note The Common Name (CN) in the server certificate must match the name supplied as the server.
This is because the IP phone does not perform a DNS lookup, but only performs a simple string
comparison. The use of an IP address is also valid.
4. Execute the following command to issue your server certificate with ca.crt and ca.key
generated above:
[root@localhost openssl-0.9.8k]#openssl x509 -days 365 -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -req
-CAcreateserial -CAserial ca.srl -in server.csr -out server.crt
Signature ok
subject=/C=CN/ST=FJ/L=XM/O=Yealink/CN=server.yealink.com/emailAddress=support@
yealink.com
Getting CA Private Key
The command will generate a X.509 server certificate valid for one year (365 days).
You can execute the following command to view the details of this certificate.
[root@localhost openssl-0.9.8k]#openssl x509 -text -in server.crt
A client certificate is a digital certificate issued to a client by a CA. Client certificate issue steps
are very similar to server certificate. Remember to specify a unique CN.
23
Execute the following commands to issue a client certificate:
[root@localhost openssl-0.9.8k]#openssl genrsa -out client.key 1024
[root@localhost openssl-0.9.8k]#openssl req -new -key client.key -out client.csr
[root@localhost openssl-0.9.8k]#openssl x509 -days 365 -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -req
-CAcreateserial -CAserial ca.srl -in client.csr -out client.crt
These commands will generate a client.key file, a client.csr file and a client.crt file.
If the mutual TLS authentication is required, you need to generate a *.pem certificate and upload
it to the IP phone.
Execute the following command to generate a client.pem file with client.crt and client.key files
generated above:
[root@localhost openssl-0.9.8k]#cat client.crt client.key > client.pem
