There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a self-
signed certificate; and importing a third-party certificate authority (CA)
signed certificate.
Generating a Self-Signed Certificate
If you wish to create your own self-signed certificate, a free utility – openssl.exe – is
available for download over the web. See Self-Signed Private Certificates, page 164 for
details about using OpenSSL to generate your own private key and SSL certificate.
Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate
For the greatest security, we recommend using a third party certificate authority (CA)
signed certificate. To obtain a third party signed certificate, go to a CA (Certificate
Authority) website to apply for an SSL certificate. After the CA sends you the
certificate, save it to a convenient location on your computer.
Importing the Private Certificate
To import the private certificate, do the following:
1. Click Browse to the right of Private Key; browse to where your private encryption
key file is located; and select it.
2. Click Browse to the right of Certificate; browse to where your certificate file is
located; and select it.
3. Click Upload to complete the procedure.
NOTE: Both the private encryption key and the signed certificate must be imported at
the same time.
