system certificate local

Use this command to edit the comment associated with a server certificate that is stored locally on the FortiWeb appliance.

You can also configure settings for a certificate that works with an HSM (hardware security module). For details about HSM integration, see system hsm info and the FortiWeb Administration Guide:

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

FortiWeb appliances require these certificates to present when clients request secure connections, including when:

Administrators connect to the web UI (HTTPS connections only)
Web clients use SSL or TLS to connect to a virtual server, if you have enabled SSL off-loading in the policy (HTTPS connections and Reverse Proxy mode)
Web clients use SSL or TLS to connect to a physical server (HTTPS connections and true transparent mode)

FortiWeb appliances also require certificates in order to decrypt and scan HTTPS connections travelling through it if operating in Offline Protection or Transparent Inspection modes.

Which certificate will be used, and how, depends on the purpose.

For connections to the web UI, the FortiWeb appliance presents its default certificate. The FortiWeb appliance’s default certificate does not appear in the list of local certificates. It's used only for connections to the web UI and cannot be removed.

For SSL off-loading or SSL decryption, upload certificates that do not belong to the FortiWeb appliance, but instead belong to the protected hosts. Then, select which one the FortiWeb appliance will use when configuring the SSL option in a policy or server farm.

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.

edit "<certificate_name>"

set comment "<comment_str>"

set status {na | ok | pending}

set type {certificate | csr}

set flag {0 | 1}

set is-hsm {no | yes}

set partition-number "<partition_name>"

set certificate "<certificate_str>"

set private-key "<private_key_str>"

set passwd "<password>"

Variable	Description	Default
"<certificate_name>"	Enter the name of a certificate file. The maximum length is 63 characters.	No default.
comment "<comment_str>"	Enter a description or other comment. If the comment contains more than one word or contains an apostrophe, surround the comment in double quotes ( `"` ). The maximum length is 127 characters.	No default.

To use the certificate, select it in a policy or server farm. `pending`—Indicates that the certificate request was generated, but must be downloaded, signed, and imported before it can be used as a local certificate.	No default.
type {certificate \| csr}	Indicate whether the file is a certificate or a certificate signing request (CSR).	No default.
flag {0 \| 1}	Indicate if a password was saved. This is used by FortiWeb for backwards compatibility.	No default.
is-hsm {no \| yes}	Specify whether you configured the CSR for this certificate to work with an integrated HSM.	`no`
partition-number "<partition_name>"	Enter the name of the HSM partition you selected when you created the CSR for this certificate.	No default.
certificate "<certificate_str>"	Set the certificate. Only certificates in PEM format may be set.	No default.
private-key "<private_key_str>"	Set the private key for the certificate. Only private keys in PEM format may be set.	No default.
passwd "<password>"	Enter the password for the certificate.	No default.
