Certificate Configuration
Firebox Vclass User Guide 117
tificate from a Certificate Authority (CA) server (such as
Verisign or Entrust), and then import it into your Firebox
Vclass appliance. Use the Certificate tab to configure these
certificates.
In addition, this tab assists in the importing of Certificate
Revocation Lists (CRLs), which the authorizing source will
send to you on occasion. A CRL effectively cancels any cer-
tificates that have been compromised by hackers.
Before initiating a certificate request, you must obtain the
following:
• The encryption key cosigning authority’s name and
web site URL
• A payment method for all requested certificates,
preferably credit card
• Any root certificates provided by this authority
To import certificates:
1 Click the Certificate tab.
The Certificate fields are displayed. A WatchGuard certificate
is imported by default.
