Generating a CSR and Obtaining a Self Certificate from a CA
To use a self certificate, you must first request the digital certificate from a CA, and then download
and activate the digital certificate on the UTM. To request a self certificate from a CA, you must
generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for and on the UTM. The CSR is a file that contains
information about your company and about the device that holds the certificate. Refer to the CA
for guidelines about the information that you must include in your CSR.
To generate a new CSR file, obtain a digital certificate from a CA, and upload it to the UTM:
1. Select VPN > Certificates from the menu. The Certificates screen displays. Figure 9-13 on
page 9-22 shows the middle section of the screen with the Active Self Certificates section,
Generate Self Certificate Request section, and Self Certificate Requests section. (The Self
Certificate Requests table contains some examples.)
