20.3 The My Certificate Export Screen

Click SECURITY > CERTIFICATES > My Certificates and then a certificate's export icon
to open the My Certificate Export screen. Follow the instructions in this screen to choose the
file format to use for saving the certificate from the ZyWALL to a computer. You can export a
certificate in one of these file formats:
• Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509
certificates.
• Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates.
The private key in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file's
password is not connected to your certificate's public or private passwords. Exporting a
PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you
import the file into the ZyWALL.

DESCRIPTION
Binary X.509 is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509
certificates.
PKCS#12 is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates.
You can also password-encrypt the private key in the PKCS #12 file. The
file's password is not connected to your certificate's public or private
passwords.
Type the file's password to use for encrypting the private key. The password
is optional, although you must specify one if you want to be able to import
the PKCS#12 format certificate into Netscape version 7.2.
Type the password to make sure that you have entered it correctly.
Click Apply and then Save in the File Download screen. The Save As
screen opens, browse to the location that you want to use and click Save.
Click Cancel to quit and return to the My Certificates screen.
