5. Copy (Ctrl + C) the text to the clipboard.
6. Paste (Ctrl + V) this text into the Submit Request field on the CA’s Retrieve Certificate web page.
7. Choose to view the certificate response in raw DER format.
Note the Authorization Code and Reference Number (for use in the e-mail submission of the request).
8. Submit the request.
9. Paste the copied text into your e-mail document and send it to the CA with its accompanying certificate application.
NOTE: When a certif icate request is generated, you are creating a private key on the Master. You can not request another
certif icate until the previous request has been fulfilled. Doing so voids any information received from the previously requested
certif icate and it becomes nonfunctional if you try to use it.
Once you have received the returned CA certificate, follow the procedures outlined in the following section to import the returned
certificate (over a secure connection) to the target Master.
Importing an SSL Certif icate
Click the Import SSL Certif icate link to import a CA server certificate. Before importing an SSL Certificate you must:
First, have a self-generated certificate installed onto your target Master.
Second, enable the HTTPS/SSL feature from the Server Options page (FIG. 55), to establish a secure connection to the
Master prior to importing the encrypted CA certificate.
1. Copy the returned certificate (signed by the CA) to your clipboard.
2. Click the Import SSL Certif icate link to open the Import SSL Certificate window (FIG. 58).
3. Place the cursor inside the text box and paste the returned certificate text, in its entirety.
4. Click Import SSL Certificate to save the new certificate information to the Master.
NOTE: Once a certif icate has been received from an external CA and installed on a Master, do not regenerate the certificate or
alter its properties. Regenerating a previously installed certificate, invalidates the certificate.
5. Click the Display Certif icate link to confirm the new certificate was imported properly to the target Master.
NOTE: A CA certif icate can only be imported to a target Master only after both a self-generated certificate has been created and
the SSL Enable feature has been selected on the Master. These actions conf igure the Master the secure communication
necessary during the importing of the CA certificate.
