LABEL	DESCRIPTION
PKI Storage	This bar displays the percentage of the ZyWALL’s PKI storage space that is currently in
Space in Use	use. When the storage space is almost full, you should consider deleting expired or
	unnecessary certificates before adding more certificates.
Add	Click this to go to the screen where you can have the ZyWALL generate a certificate or a
	certification request.
Edit	Double-click an entry or select it and click Edit to open a screen with an in-depth list of
	information about the certificate.
Remove	The ZyWALL keeps all of your certificates unless you specifically delete them. Uploading a
	new firmware or default configuration file does not delete your certificates. To remove an
	entry, select it and click Remove. The ZyWALL confirms you want to remove it before
	doing so. Subsequent certificates move up by one when you take this action.
Object References	You cannot delete certificates that any of the ZyWALL’s features are configured to use.
	Select an entry and click Object References to open a screen that shows which settings
	use the entry. See Section 7.3.2 on page 122 for an example.
#	This field displays the certificate index number. The certificates are listed in alphabetical
	order.
Name	This field displays the name used to identify this certificate. It is recommended that you
	give each certificate a unique name.
Type	This field displays what kind of certificate this is.
	REQ represents a certification request and is not yet a valid certificate. Send a
	certification request to a certification authority, which then issues a certificate. Use the
	My Certificate Import screen to import the certificate and replace the request.
	SELF represents a self-signed certificate.
	CERT represents a certificate issued by a certification authority.
Subject	This field displays identifying information about the certificate’s owner, such as CN
	(Common Name), OU (Organizational Unit or department), O (Organization or company)
	and C (Country). It is recommended that each certificate have unique subject
	information.
Issuer	This field displays identifying information about the certificate’s issuing certification
	authority, such as a common name, organizational unit or department, organization or
	company and country. With self-signed certificates, this is the same information as in the
	Subject field.
Valid From	This field displays the date that the certificate becomes applicable.
Valid To	This field displays the date that the certificate expires. The text displays in red and
	includes an Expired! message if the certificate has expired.

Refresh	Click Refresh to display the current validity status of the certificates.
