Certification Path

Click the Refresh button to have this read-only text box display the end entity’s

 

certificate and a list of certification authority certificates that shows the hierarchy of

 

certification authorities that validate the end entity’s certificate. If the issuing

 

certification authority is one that you have imported as a trusted certification

 

authority, it may be the only certification authority in the list (along with the end

 

entity’s own certificate). The ZyWALL does not trust the end entity’s certificate and

 

displays “Not trusted” in this field if any certificate on the path has expired or been

 

revoked.
