Importing CA Certificates into the SonicWALL
After your CA service has validated your CA Certificate, you can import it into the SonicWALL and use it to validate Local Certificates for VPN Security Associations.
To import your CA Certificate into the SonicWALL, follow these steps:
1Select Add New CA Certificate.
2Click Browse, and locate the PKCS#7 (*.p7b) or DER (*.der) or *.cer encoded file sent by the CA service.
3Click Open to set the directory path to the certificate
4Click Import to import the certificate into the SonicWALL. Once it is imported, you can view the Certificate Details.
Certificate Details
The Certificate Details section lists the following information:
•Certificate Issuer
•Subject Distinguished Name
•Certificate Serial Number
•Expires On
•CRL Status
The Certificate Issuer, Certificate Serial Number, and the Expiration Date are generated by the CA service. The information is used when a Generate Certificate Signing Request is created and sent to your CA service for validation.
Delete This Certificate
To delete the certificate, click Delete This Certificate. You can delete a certificate if it has expired or if you decide not to use third party certificates for VPN authentication.
