Installing Existing Key and Certificate Files

If the SSL certificate and private key files are already available, you can install them directly without going through the process of creating a CSR or a self‑signed certificate.

Note: If you are using an SSL certificate that is part of a chain of certificates, each part of the chain is signed during the validation process.

  1. Choose Device Settings > Security > SSL Certificate. The Manage SSL Certificate dialog appears.
  2. Click the New SSL Certificate tab.
  3. Select the "Upload Key and Certificate" checkbox. The Key File and Certificate File fields appear.
  4. In the Key File field, click Browse to select the private key file.
  5. In the Certificate File field, click Browse to select the certificate file.
  6. Click Upload. The selected files are installed on the PXE device.

    Tip: To verify whether the certificate has been installed successfully, click the Active SSL Certificate tab.

  7. Click Close to quit the dialog.
