Local Certificates
Certificate requests and installed server certificates are displayed in the Local Certificates
list. After you submit the request to a CA, the CA will verify the information and register the
contact information on a digital certificate that contains a serial number, an expiration date,
and the public key of the CA. The CA will then sign the certificate and send it to you to
install on the FortiGate unit.
Local certificates can update automatically online prior to expiry. This must be configured
in the CLI. See the vpn certificate local command in the FortiGate CLI Reference.
To view certificate requests and/or import signed server certificates, go to System >
Certificates > Local Certificates. To view certificate details, select the View Certificate
Detail icon in the row that corresponds to the certificate.
