Using the Certificate Manager
This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your NETGEAR ProSafe VPN
Client.
What is the Certificate Manager?
The Certificate Manager is the client module where you obtain and manage the certificates you
receive from certificate authorities (CAs), set the trust policy, and view certificate revocation lists
(CRLs).To learn how to perform all the various certificate-related tasks, refer to the topics in the
Certificate Manager book in the help.
The Certificate Manager includes these tabs for you to perform the tasks listed above:
• My Certificates
• Root CA Certificates
• Trust Policy
• CA Certificates
• RA Certificates
• CRLs
• Requests
There are three ways to open the Certificate Manager:
• On the Windows desktop, click Start>Programs>NETGEAR ProSafe VPN
Client>Certificate Manager.
• Right-click the client icon, and then click Certificate Manager.
• In the Security Policy Editor, click Options>Certificate Manager.
