15.7 My Certificate Export

Click SECURITY > CERTIFICATES > My Certificates and then a certificate’s export icon
to open the My Certificate Export screen. Follow the instructions in this screen to choose the
file format to use for saving the certificate from the ZyWALL to a computer.

15.7.1 Certificate File Export Formats

You can export a certificate in one of these file formats:

• Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509

certificates.

• Binary PKCS#12: This is a format for transferring public key and private key certificates.

The private key in a PKCS #12 file is within a password-encrypted envelope. The file’s
password is not connected to your certificate’s public or private passwords. Exporting a
PKCS #12 file creates this and you must provide it to decrypt the contents when you
import the file into the ZyWALL.
