LABEL DESCRIPTION
PKI Storage Space
in Use
This bar displays the percentage of the NWA/WAC’s PKI storage space that is currently in use.
When the storage space is almost full, you should consider deleting expired or unnecessary
certificates before adding more certificates.
Add Click this to go to the screen where you can have the NWA/WAC generate a certificate or a
certification request.
Edit Double-click an entry or select it and click Edit to open a screen with an in-depth list of
information about the certificate.
Remove The NWA/WAC keeps all of your certificates unless you specifically delete them. Uploading a
new firmware or default configuration file does not delete your certificates. To remove an
entry, select it and click Remove. The NWA/WAC confirms you want to remove it before doing
so. Subsequent certificates move up by one when you take this action.
Object Reference You cannot delete certificates that any of the NWA/WAC’s features are configured to use.
Select an entry and click Object Reference to open a screen that shows which settings use
the entry.
