Configuring SSL on a Brocade Virtual ADX

6

7. In the Export File Format dialog box, choose.PFX. If the certificate has already been formatted,

that format is selected as the default. Click Next.

Do not select Delete the private key if export is successful, because this disables the SSL site
that corresponds to the private key.

8. Continue to follow steps in the wizard, and enter a password for the certificate backup file

when prompted. Using a strong password is highly recommended to ensure that the private key
is well protected.

9. Type the name of the file you want to export, or click Browse to search for the file. Click Next.

10. Click Finish to exit the Certificate Export Wizard.

In order for certificates to be imported into the Brocade Virtual ADX, they must be in a specific
format. The .PFX file must be converted to .PEM or .P12. Procedures for converting certificate
formats are described in

“Converting certificate formats”
