Configuring SSL on a ServerIron ADX

8. Continue to follow steps in the wizard, and enter a password for the certificate backup file

when prompted. Using a strong password is highly recommended to ensure that the private key

is well protected.

9. Type the name of the file you want to export, or click Browse to search for the file. Click Next.

10. Click Finish to exit the Certificate Expor t Wizard.

In order for certificates to be imported into the ServerIron ADX, they must be in a specific format.

The .PFX file must be converted to .PEM or .P12. Procedures for converting certificate formats are

described in “Converting certificate formats” on page147.
