2.14.6.6 Uploading an X.509 PEM Certificate Text

Many certificate authorities simply issue a certificate in the form of a plain text file. If your cer
tificate was provided in this manner, and the certificate is in the X.509 PEM format, follow the
procedure below to upload the certificate text by copying and pasting it into the Web UI.
To upload an X.509 PEM certificate text to SecureSync:
1.
Navigate to MANAGEMENT > NETWORK: HTTPS Setup .
2.
Select the Upload X.509 PEM Certificate tab.
3.
Copy the text of the certificate that was issued to you by your Certificate Authority, and
paste it into the text field.
4.
Click Submit .to upload the certificate to SecureSync.
NOTE: The text inside the text field under the Edit X.509 PEM Certificate tab is editable.
However, changes should not be made to a certificate once it is imported; instead, a new cer
tificate should be requested. An invalid certificate may result in denial of access to the
SecureSync through the Web UI. If this occurs, see "If a Secure Unit Becomes Inaccessible" on
page 251.

the certificate file to SecureSync, unless it is a X.509 PEM-format certificate: in this case you
