Very straightforward - you select "Configuration"/"Certificates"/"Device Certificates" - Select "New CSR" to generate the certificate signing request.

Then when you get the certificate back you select "Import Certificate and Key" to bring the cert in. You have some option depending on exactly how the cert was generated.

This will obviously replace the self signed cert that you established during the initial configuration. You can also have multiple certs if you have multiple domain names on your SSL box. Those map to virtual ports that are defined under network settings.

and if you want to update an existing cert you just click on the cert and click renew and upload your new cert (off course this means that you sent your original CSR to be signed by the CA and did not create a new one) and than click upload.

Hi,

i did exactly what told in here, and on the admin guide.

fr example my domain on the initial config is, "ssl.domain.com" and there is a certificate on the device for it, which is not signed,

i want to replace that with a valid signed cert so that,

i created a CSR, and send it to the CA and they send me back a file with the extension ".cer" than when i try to import it to the pending CSR part, it says unknown CSR format.

i couldnt import my cert..

any one can help?

edit: if i try to add the certification from the, "import certification and key" menu it says : Could not read certification format.

ps: i didnt want to repost on the same topic, so if this is a topic hijacking, i am deeply sorry and please let me know, i will repost immediately.. 

thanks in advance..

I am not 100% on this but i did run into a similar issue and i think renaming the file from .cer to .crt fixed it

[Will_Bonville]

Yeah, if you rename it to .crt works fine

If that does not work, you may have to install the cert, and then copy to file and set the file to export as a pkcs7 file. Or you may have to export to a pkcs12 file and export a private key.
