15.7 My Certificate Export

Click SECURITY > CERTIFICATES > My Certificates and then a certificate’s export icon to open the My Certificate Export screen. Follow the instructions in this screen to choose the file format to use for saving the certificate from the ZyWALL to a computer.

15.7.1 Certificate File Export Formats

You can export a certificate in one of these file formats:

•Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509 certificates.

•Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates. The private key in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file’s password is not connected to your certificate’s public or private passwords. Exporting a PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you import the file into the ZyWALL.
