CLI Reference

system admin-certificate ca

system admin-certificate ca

When FortiWeb's certificate-based Web UI login is applied. Besides the administrators' certificates information, the corresponding certificate authority (CA) certificates are required to be stored on the FortiWeb appliance. Certificate authorities validate and sign other certificates in order to indicate to third parties that those other certificates are authentic and can be trusted. FortiWeb authorizes the administrator's login by verifying its certificate with the corresponding CA.

Use this command to show the names of the CA certificates that are relative to the administrators' certificates. You use the web UI to upload these certificates.

CA certificates are not used directly here (no set operations are defined), but they are required when you create a PKI user (an administrator that FortiWeb authorizes base on his certificate) on the FortiWeb. For details, see user pki-user.

For information about certificate-based Web UI login, 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.

Syntax

show system admin-certificate ca


Example

config system admin-certificate ca

edit "CA_Cert_1"

next

edit "CA_Cert_2"

next

end
