17.1.1 Importing Public Key Certificates (Trusted Roots)

You import trusted roots so that the specific device can trust the certificate sent by other computers at runtime. After you import a trusted root, you can assign it to the proper trust store associated with a device, which allows the device to trust certificates signed by the trusted root.

  1. In Administration Console Dashboard, click Security > Trusted Roots.

  2. Click Import, then specify a name for the certificate.

    This is a system-wide, unique name used by Access Manager.

  3. Select one of the following methods to import the public key:

    • Certificate data file (DER/PEM/PKCS7): Select this method to browse to a file. Click Browse to locate the file on your file system.

    • Certificate data text (PEM/Base64): Select this method to paste Base64-encoded certificate data text.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Continue with Adding Trusted Roots to Trust Stores
