CLI Reference

system certificate ca

system certificate ca

Use this command to show the names of certificates for a certificate authority (CA). You use the web UI to upload these certificates.

Certificate authorities validate and sign other certificates in order to indicate to third parties that those other certificates are authentic and can be trusted

CA certificates are not used directly, but must first be grouped in order to be selected in a certificate verification rule. For details, see system certificate ca-group.

For information on how to upload a certificate file, see the FortiWeb Administration Guide:

http://docs.fortinet.com/fortiweb/admin-guides

To use this command, your administrator account’s access control profile must have either w or rw permission to the admingrp area. For details, see Permissions.
