4. Click OK.
The FortiWeb appliance creates a private and public key pair. The generated request
includes the public key of the FortiWeb appliance and information such as the FortiWeb
appliance’s IP address, domain name, or email address. The FortiWeb appliance’s private
key remains confidential on the FortiWeb appliance. The Status column of the entry is
PENDING.
5. Select the row that corresponds to the certificate request.
6. Click Download.
Standard dialogs appear with buttons to save the file at a location you select. Your web
browser downloads the certificate request (.csr) file. Time required varies by the size of the
file and the speed of your network connection.
7. Upload the certificate request to your CA.
After you submit the request to a CA, the CA will verify the information in the certificate, give
it a serial number, an expiration date, and sign it with the public key of the CA.
8. If you are not using a commercial CA whose root certificate is already installed by default on
web browsers, download your CA’s root certificate, then install it on all computers that will
be connecting to your appliance. (If you do not install these, those computers may not trust
your new certificate.)
9. When you receive the signed certificate from the CA, upload the certificate to the FortiWeb
appliance (see “Uploading a server certificate” on page 289).
