Uploading and Enabling the New Certificate

For uploading to the SSL VPN Concentrator, the certificate information must be in a zipped file containing a certificate file named server.crt and a certificate key file named server.key. If the zipped file does not contain these two files, the zipped file will not be uploaded. Any file name will be accepted, but it must have the .zip extension.

Note: Do not upload the CSR file to the SSL VPN Concentrator.

To upload and enable the new certificate:

1.Under the System Configuration menu in the left navigation pane, select Certificates. The Certificates menu will display as shown in the previous section.

2.In the Import Digital Certificate table, select Browse to locate the zipped digital certificate file on your disk or network drive.

3.Click Upload to save the file to the Cert Description table. Once the certificate has been uploaded, the certificate is displayed in the Current Certificates table.

Note: Valid certificates generated by an authorized Certificate Authority (CA), or a non-authorized CA, require a password. Before you enable the certificate and

restart the software, be sure to enter the correct certificate password in the Enable Certificate window. The password for the NETGEAR default certificate is password.
