Generate a CSR and Obtain a Self-Signed Certificate from a CA
To use a self-signed certificate, you first need to request the certificate from a CA, and then
download and activate the certificate on the UTM. To request a self-signed certificate from a
CA, you need to 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 need to 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. The Certificates screen displays. The following figure 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.)
