6.3.2 Creating Self Certificates
Self certificates are those for which the organization creates a certificate request, sends it off to a Certificate
Authority (CA) to be signed, and then imports the signed certificate into the management system. To go
through this process, select System Configuration--> Certificate Mgmt --> Self Certificates.
1. To create the certificate request, click the Add button. The Certificate Request screen appears.
2. Fill out the request form with the pertinent information. Only 4 fields are required:
Key ID Enter a name for the certificate to help distinguish between certificates. The name can be up
to 7 characters in length.
Subject This required field contains important information about the certificate. Contact the CA that
will sign the certificate to determine the content of this field.
