Administration | Certificate Management | Installation
Certificate Type
Click the Certificate Type drop-down menu button and choose the type of digital certificate to install.
(Please note that --Select a Certificate Type-- is an instruction reminder, not a choice.)
• Issuing or Root Certificate Authority = Root and subordinate certificates obtained via enrollment
with a CA in a PKI. Select this type and install the root certificate first, then install any subordinate
certificates.
• SSL Server (via Enrollment) = SSL certificate obtained via enrollment in a PKI.
• SSL Server (import with Private Key) = SSL certificate imported along with a private key from
some source. Installing this certificate type is not a completely secure process, and we strongly
recommend not using it. If you choose this type, complete the Certificate Password and Verify fields.
• Server Identity (via Enrollment) = Identity certificates obtained via enrollment with a CA in a PKI.
Select this type and install the identity certificate last.
Certificate Password
Complete this field only if you select an import with Private Key certificate type. Enter the password for
the private key.
Verify
Complete this field only if you select an import with Private Key certificate type. Re-enter the private
key password to verify it.
Local File / Browse
You can enter the certificate text in either of two ways. If the certificate text is stored in a file, then enter
the file name here. If the text of the certificate is displaying in another open window, you can copy and
paste it into the Certificate Text sub-window.
Enter the complete path and filename of the certificate you are installing, fore example:
d:\certs\ca_root.txt. Or click Browse to navigate to the file on your PC or other reachable network host.
Certificate Text
You can enter the certificate text in either of two ways. If the certificate text is stored in a file, then enter
the file name in the Local File/Browse field. If the text of the certificate is displaying in another open
window, you can copy and paste it here. This scrollable input field allows you to enter the certificate text
directly, without having to save it to a file first.
