9.9 Trusted CAs

Click CERTIFICATES, Trusted CAs to open the Trusted CAs screen. This screen displays
a summary list of certificates of the certification authorities that you have set the ZyAIR to
accept as trusted. The ZyAIR accepts any valid certificate signed by a certification authority
on this list as being trustworthy; thus you do not need to import any certificate that is signed by
one of these certification authorities. See the following figure.

page, an e-mail that you send to the certification authority or a text editor and
save the file on a management computer for later manual enrollment.

screen opens, browse to the location that you want to use and click Save.

the file name extension.
