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 time in order to import each of the certificates in the trust chain. Check the message
