SSL certificates

SSL Certificates provides centralized Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate and key management for ServerIron and ADX products that have the SSL capability. Use SSL Certificates to back up SSL certificates and keys from the ServerIron and ADX products, and restore them, as necessary. You can also add SSL certificates and keys to SSL certificates by cutting and pasting existing certificate and key file contents.

The SSL certificates and keys can only be deployed from the SSL Certificates dialog box to the following SSL-capable ServerIron devices:

•ServerIron with WSM6-SSL module, running software release 10.2.01c or later

•ServerIron with WSM6-SSL-Slave module, running software release 10.2.01c or later

•ServerIron 4G-SSL (Stackable), running software release 10.2.01c or later

•ADX running software release 12.1.00 or later

NOTE

If the ADX is running software release 12.3.00 or later, you can only view and manage SSL certificates that are bound to Virtual IP servers that are in your Area of Responsibility (AOR). To add a Virtual IP server to your AOR, refer to “Assigning products to an AOR” on page 197.
