Generating a certificate request
The FortiGate unit generates a certificate request based on the information you
enter to identify the FortiGate unit. Generated requests are displayed in the Local
Certificates list with a status of
PENDING. After you generate a certificate request,
you can download the request to a computer that has management access to the
FortiGate unit and then forward the request to a CA.
To fill out a certificate request, go to VPN > Certificates > Local Certificates and
select Generate. To download and send the certificate request to a CA, see
“Downloading and submitting a certificate request” on page 312.
