Importing a Certificate

You can import an SSL certificate (directly from a file or by pasting the content) from the Import Certificate page.

Note:

If you want to use the SSL proxy feature, you must import at least one root certificate for a tenant; the certificate can be used in one or more sites.

To import a certificate:

  1. Select Administration > Certificates in Customer Portal.

    The Certificates page appears.

  2. Select More > Import Certificate.

    The Import Certificate page appears.

  3. Complete the configuration according to the guidelines provided in Table 1.
    Note:

    Fields marked with * are mandatory.

  4. Click OK to import the certificate.

    You are taken to the Certificates page. If the certificate content that you imported is validated successfully, a confirmation message is displayed; if not, an error message is displayed.

After importing a certificate, you can use it when you create an SSL proxy profile.
