Importing OCSP signing certificates

Before you begin, you must:

  • Have Read-Write permission for System settings.
  • Have the remote certificates downloaded onto you local machine so that you can upload it to FortiADC.
To import an OCSP-signing certificate:
  1. Go to System > Certificate > verify.
  2. Click the OCSP Signing Certificatestab.
  3. Click Import to display the configuration editor.
  4. Complete the configuration as described in Importing an OCSP signing certificate .
