Importing CA certificate

Importing CA certificate

CA root certificates are similar to local certificates, however they apply to a broader range of addresses or to whole company; they are one step higher up in the organizational chain. Using the local certificate example, a CA root certificate would be issued for all of www.example.com instead of just the smaller single web page.

To import a CA certificate:
  1. Go to System > Certificates.
  2. From +Create/Import, select CA Certificate.
