import the certificate.

CRL Distribution

Points

This field displays how many directory servers with Lists of revoked certificates

the issuing certification authority of this certificate makes available. This field

also displays the domain names or IP addresses of the servers.

MD5 Fingerprint

This is the certificate’s message digest that the ZyWALL calculated using the

MD5 algorithm. You can use this value to verify with the certification authority

(over the phone for example) that this is actually their certificate.

SHA1 Fingerprint

This is the certificate’s message digest that the ZyWALL calculated using the

SHA1 algorithm. You can use this value to verify with the certification authority

(over the phone for example) that this is actually their certificate.

Certificate in PEM

(Base-64) Encoded

Format

This read-only text box displays the certificate or certification request in Privacy

Enhanced Mail (PEM) format. PEM uses 64 ASCII characters to convert the

binary certificate into a printable form.
You can copy and paste the certificate into an e-mail to send to friends or

colleagues or you can copy and paste the certificate into a text editor and save

the file on a management computer for later distribution (via floppy disk for

example).

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyWALL. You can only change

the name and/or set whether or not you want the ZyWALL to check the CRL that

the certification authority issues before trusting a certificate issued by the

certification authority.

Cancel

Click Cancel to quit and return to the Trusted CAs screen.
