24.5 Importing Public Key Certificates (Trusted Roots)

You import trusted roots so that the specific device can trust the certificate sent by other computers at runtime. After you import a trusted root, you can assign it to the proper trust store associated with a device, which allows the device to trust certificates signed by the trusted root.

  1. In the Administration Console, click Access Manager, then click Certificates.

  2. Click the Trusted Roots tab.

  3. Click Import, then fill in the following fields:

    Certificate name: The name of the certificate. This is a system-wide, unique name used by Access Manager. If you are importing this certificate into a Proxy Trust Store used by the NetWare Access Gateway, the name must be from one to eight characters long. The other trust stores accept longer names.

    Certificate data file: The certificate file to import. You can browse to locate the file or copy and paste text into the Certificate data text field.

    Certificate data text: An editable field used to enter or paste Base64-encoded certificate data text.

  4. Click OK.
