File Management Functions

To load an SSL certificate:

1.Verify that the certificate is in PEM format. PEM-formatted certificates generally end with a PEM extension and are viewable in Notepad. A typical PEM certificate might appear as:

There may be other sections and other data within the file. If the certificate is not in PEM format, then it must first be converted using OpenSSL (a freely available software package on the Internet) before the IN-tact1101 can use it.

2.Once the file is in PEM format, change the file name to the OpenSSL name. This name consists of an eight-character filename, which is the computer hash value in hexadecimal and the number zero is the filename extension. This can be determined with the following command in OpenSSL:

>> openssl x509 -hash -in mycert.pem -noout

The result will be an eight-character alphanumeric string, such as “557C3410”. The file must be renamed to add an extension of “.0”. In this case, the renamed file would be “557C3410.0”.

3.On the File Management Functions screen, click Browse (next to Load SSL Certificate to IN-tact).

4.Navigate to and select the SSL certificate and click Open.

5.Click Load to upload the certificate to the IN-tact1101.

A red message appears if there is an error with this operation.

If the operation is successful, the certificate becomes active and the name of the file appears in this field. The certificate is now ready for use.
