Certificate management

Certificate Management provides users with the ability to manage certificates with different encoding schemes and file formats. The Certificate Management view shows the certificates that are currently installed on FortiNAC. Users can create and install server certificates for Admin, Portal, Persistent Agent, and RADIUS servers.

High Availability is not automatically supported at this time. To add certificates to a secondary appliance, you must fail over and configure certificates through the Admin UI on that appliance.
