FortiExtender supports specifying custom certificates for HTTPS management access. By default, the factory certificate is set to "Fortinet_Factory_Backup".

To import a custom certificate - CLI

From the FortiExtender console, enter the following command:

execute vpn certificate local import tftp <remote_file> <local_name> <ip> <passwd>

To import a custom certificate - GUI
  1. From the FortiExtender GUI, go to Settings and select the Certificate tab.
  2. Under Entity Certificate, click Import New Certificate.
  3. Configure the Name and Password of the certificate and then upload the certificate.
  4. When you are finished, click Save.
To configure custom certificates - CLI
config system global
  set admin-server-cert <cert_name>
end

Once you configure admin-server-cert, FortiExtender will use this certificate for remote HTTPS management on the admin interface. All new HTTPS management connections will be established using the configured certificate.

Existing HTTPS management connections will not be affected until you close and reopen the web browser.
