Figure 4-60: Connecting two remote sites with a VPN.
4.12.4.1 Creating VPN Certificates
Digital certificates secure communication between both sites. Use the settings under
"Cert. Management > Certificates" to create the necessary certificates for your VPN
connection.
The VPN certificate has to be signed by the same certificate authority (CA) on both
sites. Therefore, it is advisable to manage the CA and the VPN certificates on one site
(the company »headquarters« in this example). Then, export and import the CA and
the VPN certificates from there to the other site (the »subsidiary« in this example).
On the initiating system (at the »headquarters«):
1. From the menu in the navigation pane, select "Cert. Management > Certificates" .
2.
Click the plus button
in the item list bar header to create a VPN certificate
authority.
The system prompts you to select the service that the new certificate should be
used for.
a) Under "Type" , select Certificate Authority Without Subordinate
Certificate Authorities which will be used to authorize the necessary
VPN certificates.
b) Adjust the information as necessary for your environment.

c) Click "Create" to add the new certificate authority to the list of available certifi-
cates.
