Component

Description

Serial Number

The Serial Number, which is expressed in Base 16 notation, is assigned by the SKM

and used internally to refer to a certificate signed by a local CA. There is only one

counter on the SKM, which means that all serial numbers for certificates signed

by local CAs will be in numerical order regardless of which local CA signed the

certificate. For example, a certificate signed by one local CA might get the serial

number 0x7. The next certificate signed by a local CA on the SKM would get the

serial number 0x8, regardless of which local CA signed it. The first certificate

in the list of signed certificates is always the local CA itself, which always has a

serial number of 0x0.

Status

Status of the certificate.

Subject Name

This field shows the concatenated subject information for the signed certificate.

Properties

Click Properties to access the Signed Certificate Information section and view the

properties of the selected certificate.

Signed Certificate Information

After you display the certificates signed by a particular CA, you can view the certificate information for

that certificate by selecting a certificate and clicking Properties. Such information includes the serial

number, key size, expiration date, issuer, and subject. In addition, the PEM encoded x.509 certificate

can be used to install the certificate if necessary.
