Proceed in the same way as for adding a user certificate or a Smartcard certificate:
Specify the various options for your server certificate. The field “Validity” is set by default to 365
days, and the field Key size to 2048 bits.
You can then “Publish this certificate in the LDAP directory” by selecting the relevant option,
and define a password that you will confirm for the PKCS#12 container.
After having clicked on Next, select a parent CA for your certificate and enter its password. You will
see a summary of the data that was entered.
Click Finish.
By clicking on the relevant certificate, detailed information about it will be displayed on the right
side of the screen in a single tab:
“Details” tab
These 4 sections will contain the same data concerning the “ Validity” of the authority, its
recipient (“Issued for”), its “Issuer” and its “Fingerprint” (information about the product and its
version).
Importing a file
By clicking on this button, you can import a file (containing your certificate) through the
configuration wizard.
This will save you the hassle of having to go through the steps of creating the CA, sub-CA or
certificates.
File to import
By clicking on the icon , to the right of the field, you will be able to browser your computer or
your web browser to look for a certificate (if you have created one earlier).
