Import a CA certificate

Import a 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.

CA certificates can be imported to the FortiProxy unit.

To import a CA certificate:
  1. From the Certificates page, select Import > CA Certificate. The Import CA Certificate page opens.

  2. Select the Type:

    • If you select Online SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol), enter the URL of the SCEP server and optional CA identifier.

    • If you select File, select Upload and locate the certificate file on your computer.

  3. Click OK to import the certificate.
