Certificate file formats

The certification authority certificate that you want to import has to be in one of
these file formats:
•
•
NN47923-500
Description
Click the details icon to open a screen with an in-depth list of
information about the certificate.
Click the delete icon to remove the certificate. A window displays,
asking you to confirm that you want to delete the certificate.
You cannot delete a certificate that one or more features are configured
to use.
Do the following to delete a certificate that shows *SELF in the Type
field.
1. Make sure that no other features, such as HTTPS, VPN, or SSH are
configured to use the *SELF certificate.
2. Click the details icon next to another self-signed certificate (see the
description on the Create button if you need to create a self-signed
certificate).
3. Select the Default self-signed certificate which signs the
imported remote host certificates check box.
4. Click Apply to save the changes and return to the My Certificates
screen.
5. The certificate that originally showed *SELF displays SELF and you
can delete it now.
Note that subsequent certificates move up by one when you take this
action.
Click Import to open a screen where you can save the certificate that
you have enrolled from a certification authority from your computer to
the Business Secure Router.
