Retrieving and displaying a certificate

You can download an existing CA certificate or local certificate from the CA server, and save it locally.
To do so, you can use offline mode or online mode. In offline mode, you can retrieve a certificate by an

out-of-band means like FTP, disk, email and then import it into the local PKI system.
The retrieved CA certificate and local certificate are saved as files named domain-name_ca.cer and

domain-name_local.cer in the root directory, respectively.
To retrieve a certificate:

1.

From the navigation tree, select Authentication > Certificate Management.

2.

Click the Certificate tab.

3.

Click Retrieve Cert to enter PKI certificate retrieval page.
