How to export/back up certificates & private keys
Because your X.509 certificates are vital for FortiWeb to protect HTTPS transactions, when
preparing a full FortiWeb backup, make sure that your certificates are included. Should
FortiWeb experience hardware failure, this will minimize time required for you to reconfigure a
replacement appliance.
Certificates and their private keys are not included when performing a manual backup from the
web UI. Instead, you must back up via either:
• the CLI to a TFTP server (see “To back up the configuration via the CLI to a TFTP server” on
page 209)
• a scheduled periodic upload to an FTP server, configurable from the web UI or CLI (see “To
back up the configuration via the web UI to an FTP/SFTP server” on page 208)
To further guarantee service uptime from the perspective of your clients, deploy your FortiWeb
in HA. See “Configuring a high availability (HA) FortiWeb cluster” on page 97.
