Certificate Information
Use the Certificate Information section to view information about, download, and install certificates.
The top portion of the Certificate Information page contains the configured elements of the certificate.
The lower portion of this page contains the PEM-encoded X509 certificate data.
When you are viewing the properties of a certificate request, the Certificate Information page presents
only the Certificate Name, Key Size, and Subject fields above the X509 certificate request data. An
active certificate presents Certificate Name, Key Size, Start Date, Expiration, Issuer, and Subject
above the X509 certificate data. Additionally, you have the option to create a self–signed certificate.
CAUTION:
If you are copying the certificate text into an application such as Microsoft Word, it is important to
ensure that no carriage returns/line feeds are lost. Such a loss would corrupt the certificate and
prevent you from getting the certificate signed by a CA.
