15.16 Directory Servers

Click SECURITY > CERTIFICATES > Directory Servers to open the Directory Servers
screen. This screen displays a summary list of directory servers (that contain lists of valid and
revoked certificates) that have been saved into the ZyWALL. If you decide to have the
ZyWALL check incoming certificates against the issuing certification authority’s list of
revoked certificates, the ZyWALL first checks the server(s) listed in the CRL Distribution
Points
field of the incoming certificate. If the certificate does not list a server or the listed
server is not available, the ZyWALL checks the servers listed here.

MD5 Fingerprint

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

MD5 algorithm. The ZyWALL uses one of its own self-signed certificates to

sign the imported trusted remote host certificates. This changes the fingerprint

value displayed here (so it does not match the original). See

Section 15.3 on

page 298

for how to verify a remote host’s certificate before you import it into

the ZyWALL.

SHA1 Fingerprint

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

SHA1 algorithm. The ZyWALL uses one of its own self-signed certificates to

sign the imported trusted remote host certificates. This changes the fingerprint

value displayed here (so it does not match the original). See

Section 15.3 on

page 298

for how to verify a remote host’s certificate before you import it into

the ZyWALL.

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 of the certificate.

Cancel

Click Cancel to quit configuring this screen and return to the Trusted Remote

Hosts screen.
