Installing a Certificate Authority’s Certificate

CA Certificate Import page may be used to:
l Upload a certificate that has been issued by another certificate authority. This process is required when
configuring an intermediate certificate authority.
n A private key is not required, as the certificate authority has already generated one and used it to create
the certificate signing request.
l Upload a certificate and private key to be used as the certificate authority’s certificate. This process may be
used to configure a root certificate authority.
n A private key is required, as the certificate authority’s existing private key will be replaced.
This form may be used multiple times in order to import each of the certificates in the trust chain. Check the
message displayed above the form to determine which certificate or type of file must be uploaded next.
To upload a certificate:
