Remote

Use the Remote Certificates page to import a remote certificate. Remote certificates are public certificates and contain only the public key. They are used as OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) server certificates. They are used to identify a remote device.

In the CLI, you can import a remote certificate from a TFTP server or export a remote certificate from the FortiSwitch unit to a TFTP server.

Import a remote certificate using the GUI:

1. Go to System > Certificate > Remote.

2. Click Import.

3. In the Local PC field, click Choose File and browse to your certificate file.

4. Click Import.

Import a remote certificate using the CLI:

execute system certificate remote import tftp <remote_certificate_name> <TFTP_server_IP_address>

For example:

execute system certificate remote import tftp remotecertificate 1.2.3.4

Export a remote certificate using the CLI:

execute system certificate remote export tftp <remote_certificate_name> <file_name_on_TFTP_server> <TFTP_server_IP_address>

For example

execute system certificate remote export tftp remotecertificate remote_cert.cer 1.2.3.4
