Creating a CA certificate
For using a CA certificate, a certificate request must be created and sent to the
certification authority. The certification authority will then create a CA
certificate on the basis of the certificate request. The CA certificate must be in
base 64 format. When the CA certificate has been received, it must be saved on
the OMD.
If a certificate has already been saved on the OMD, the content of this certificate
will be displayed. In this case you have to delete the existing certificate first; see:
'Deleting certificates'
When a certificate request has been created, no self-signed certificate may be
created until the CA certificate has been saved.
Proceed as follows:
1. Click Configuration.
2. Click Certificates.
3. Enter the data.
4. Choose Create certificate request.
5. Click Create.
The certificate request is created.
6. Click OK to confirm.
7. Copy the text from 'Begin Certificate Request' to 'End Certificate Request'
and paste it into a text file for saving.
8. Send the certificate request to a certification authority.
When the CA certificate has been received, it must be saved on the OMD.
9. Click Browse....
10. Select the file.
11. Click Load.
12. Click OK to confirm.
The certificate is created and installed.
