DESCRIPTION
This bar displays the percentage of the ZyWALL's PKI storage space that is currently in
use. When the storage space is almost full, you should consider deleting expired or
unnecessary certificates before adding more certificates.
Click this to go to the screen where you can have the ZyWALL generate a certificate or a
certification request.
Double-click an entry or select it and click Edit to open a screen with an in-depth list of
information about the certificate.
The ZyWALL keeps all of your certificates unless you specifically delete them. Uploading a
new firmware or default configuration file does not delete your certificates. To remove an
entry, select it and click Remove. The ZyWALL confirms you want to remove it before
doing so. Subsequent certificates move up by one when you take this action.
Select an entry and click Object References to open a screen that shows which settings
use the entry. See Section 7.3.2 on page 122

order.

and C (Country). It is recommended that each certificate have unique subject
information.
This field displays identifying information about the certificate's issuing certification
authority, such as a common name, organizational unit or department, organization or
company and country. With self-signed certificates, this is the same information as in the
Subject field.
This field displays the date that the certificate becomes applicable.
This field displays the date that the certificate expires. The text displays in red and
includes an Expired! message if the certificate has expired.
