SSL Certificate Advanced Options
The Advanced Options section allows you to perform additional certificate manage-
ment functions. These include the following:
• Restore the factory default certificate and private key. This deletes any certificate
and private key that was imported.
• Back up the current private key and certificate by downloading them for disaster
recovery or for use on another ZoneDirector. If your ZoneDirector is replaced due
to an RMA, you will need to restore the private key if you have installed a public
certificate. Ensure that the private key is kept secure because the security of your
SSL communications depends on it.
• Back up certificates for Smart Redundancy: If you have two ZoneDirectors in a
Smart Redundancy configuration, you can install the same SSL certificate/
private key pair on both devices. In this way, you can access the shared virtual
management interface advertised in DNS for the same FQDN without seeing the
security warning. If you wish to also use certificates in a Smart Redundancy
configuration with captive portals such as Guest Access, Web Portal and
Hotspot, see Wildcard Certificate Installation.
