Copy-and-Paste Certiﬁcates

100Certificates and Client Authentication

The following steps demonstrate how to add a certificate using the copy-and-paste method.

Note: If you connect to one of the VPN Gateways in the cluster by using a console connection,note that HyperTerminal under Microsoft Windows may be slow to complete copy-and-paste operations. If your security policy permits enabling Telnet or SSH access to the VPN Gateway, use a Telnet or SSH client and connect to the Management IP address instead.

Step Action

1Type the following command from the Main menu prompt to start adding a certificate.

>>Main# cfg/cert

Enter certificate number: (1-) <number of the

certificate you want to configure>

>> Certificate 1# cert

Paste the certificate, press Enter to create a new line, and then type "..." (without the quotation marks) to terminate.

In most cases you should specify the same certificate number as the certificate number you used when generating the CSR. By doing so, you do not have to add the private key because this key remains connected to the certificate number that you used when you generated the CSR.

If you have obtained a key and a certificate by other means than generating a CSR using the request command on the VPN Gateway, specify a certificate number not used by a configured certificate before pasting the certificate. If the private key and the certificate are not in the same file, use the key or import command to add the corresponding private key.

To view basic information about configured certificates, use the /info/certs command. The information displayed lists all configured certificates by their main attributes.

2Copy the contents of your certificate file.

Open the certificate file you have received from a CA in a text editor and copy the entire contents. Make sure the selected text includes the " -----BEGINCERTIFICATE----- " and "

-----END CERTIFICATE----- " lines.
