Importing and Activating a Certificate

Note

Due to the upgrade to OpenSSL 3, certificates that were generated using an older version are not supported. See Convert Unsupported Certificates to Use in HMP 4.0+ for details on how to convert the certificate to a supported format.

To import and activate a Certificate:

1. On the Certificates pane, click Import. The Import Certificate or Private Key dialog appears.
   

   

2. Ensure Certificates (Identity/CA-chains/Bundles) is selected as Type.
3. Enter the certificate name and remaining fields. See Certificate Settings for details.
4. If your certificate is encrypted, enter the password.
5. Drag a CA-signed certificate (CRT) to the drop area or click Choose a file and select the certificate.

6. Click Import.
   On the Certificates pane, the newly imported certificate is added to the list and should have a green status LED.

   

   Note

   If you receive an "Error verifying uploaded file" message, please see Convert Unsupported Certificates to Use in HMP 4.0+.

7. In the row for the imported certificate, click in the Active column to activate the certificate.
8. Click Reboot and click Confirm if you have changed the active certificate.

A dialog appears informing you when the reboot is complete.
