Certificate Location

You can use the Certificate Install Wizard to install the server certificate that you received from your certificate authority (CA). You may also install a CA certificate or certificate chain that you wish to trust. Depending on where your certificate is located, select one of the following options:

To be issued by this CA. If you sent an automatic request to the CA named here, select this option to retrieve the certificate. In order to receive certificates directly from the CA, you need to obtain a plug-in from the CA. For more information about automatic requests, contact your certificate authority. If you do not have a CA plug-in, this option is not available.

In this local file. Choose this option if your certificate is stored in a text file. The certificate must be in PKCS #11 format for a server certificate and PKCS #7 format for a CA certificate chain. Enter the path and name of the file or click Browse to locate it on the local file system.

In the following encoded text block. Choose this option to enter the certificate in the text box below. Then enter the certificate in the text box or click Paste From Clipboard if you have copied your certificate to the system clipboard.
