Add a Certificate
The certificate command provides two options for adding certificates to the control system.
l
The certificate addf option allows the certificate file name to be specified.
l
The certificate add option expects a specific, fixed file name.
The following procedures describe how to add certificates to the control system using the above
commands.
Add Root, Intermediate, or User Certificates
To add a Root, Intermediate, or User certificate to the control system using the certificate
addf command:
1. Use an SFTP client to upload the certificate file (in .cer or .pem format) to the \cert
directory.
2.
Issue the certificate addf <certificate name> <certificate store> command.
l
certificate name - The name of the certificate file
l
certificate store - The certificate store where the certificate file will reside
[root|user|intermediate]
To add a Root, Intermediate, or User certificate to the control system using the certificate
add command (requires the uploaded certificate file to have a specific name):
1. Use an SFTP client to upload the certificate file (in .cer or .pem format) to the \cert
directory. The file must be named based on the certificate type as described in step 2.
2.
Issue the certificate add <certificate store> command.
l
certificate_store - The certificate store where the certificate file will reside:
o
root- The certificate file must be named "root_cert.cer".
o
user- The certificate file must be named "user_cert.cer".
o
intermediate- The certificate file must be named "intermediate_cert.cer".
Add Machine, WebServer, or WebSocket Certificates
Machine, WebSocket, and WebServer certificate types must be accompanied by their private
keys. These types of certificates consist of a single encrypted PFX file which contains both the
certificate and the key. When adding these certificate types to the control system, the
encryption password must be supplied.
