Managing Digital Certificates

The UTM uses digital certificates (also known as X509 certificates) during the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) authentication phase to authenticate connecting IPsec VPN gateways or clients, or to be authenticated by remote entities. The same digital certificates are extended for secure web access connections over HTTPS (that is, SSL connections).

Digital certificates can be either self-signed or can be issued by certification authorities (CAs) such as an internal Windows server or an external organizations such as Verisign or Thawte.

However, if the digital certificates contain the extKeyUsage extension, the certificate must be used for one of the purposes defined by the extension. For example, if the digital certificate contains the extKeyUsage extension that is defined for SNMPV2, the same certificate cannot be used for secure web management. The extKeyUsage would govern the certificate acceptance criteria on the UTM when the same digital certificate is being used for secure web management.
