Click SECURITY > CERTIFICATES > Trusted CAs to open the Trusted CAs screen. This screen displays a summary list of certificates of the certification authorities that you have set the ZyWALL to accept as trusted. The ZyWALL accepts any valid certificate signed by a certification authority on this list as being trustworthy; thus you do not need to import any certificate that is signed by one of these certification authorities.
