Via this page an existing certificate can be uploaded.

 

Name: Name for the certificate that is shown on the certificates page. It has no meaning for the certificate itself.

 

Trusted: Set if the uploaded certificate should be added to the list of trusted certificates

 

Upload: In this section the certificate itself can be selected. All certificates must be uploaded in the PEM format. There are two ways to upload: either selecting the file containing the certificate, or by directly copy and pasting the contents of the certificate file.

 

Certificate: This is the certificate itself. The certificate should have the form:

 

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

[Certificate]

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

 

Private key: In case the certificate will be used by the Apresa to set up encrypted connections or authenticate itself, a private key is necessary. The private key should have the form:

 

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

[KEY]

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

 

or

 

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

[KEY]

-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

 

Intermediate Certificate: If a certificate has been obtained from a certificate authority, the intermediate certificate with which the certificate has been signed, may also have been included. It may be necessary for the intermediate certificate to be send along with the certificate when establishing an encrypted connection. Uploading this intermediate certificate here, ensures that the Apresa can do this.

As it is possible for there to be more than one intermediate certificate, this option will accept multiple certificates bundled in one file. All certificates should be delimited with:

 

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

[Certificate]

-----END CERTIFICATE-----
