NetLinx Security - Web Server
Server - Importing a CA created SSL Certificate
Before importing a CA server certificate, you must:
 First, have a self-generated certificate installed onto your target Master.
 Secondly, enable the SSL security feature from the Enable Security page, to establish a
secure connection to the Master prior to importing the encrypted CA certificate. Refer to
the Security - System Level Security page section on page 71 for more information about
enabling SSL security.
1. Take the returned certificate (signed by the CA and encrypted with new information which
makes it different from the text string that was previously sent) and copy it into your clipboard.
2. Navigate to the Server Certificate page by clicking System Settings > Manage System >
Server > Import SSL Certificate to open the Import Certificate page (FIG. 66).
3. Place your cursor within the empty window and paste the raw text data (in its entirety) into the
field.
4. Click the Update button to enter the new encrypted certificate information and save it to the
Master.

Once a certificate has been purchased from an external CA and then installed onto a
specific Master, DO NOT regenerate the certificate or alter its properties
(example: bit length, city, etc.). If the purchased certificate is regenerated, it becomes
invalid.
