Importing certificate files

The option to import a certificate from a CA is available in the Security Manager Email Security module. Importing a third-party certificate overwrites an existing certificate.

Import a new certificate as follows:

Steps

  1. Open a command prompt on the Security Manager server and run the following command to create a .pfx file that contains your certificate and key:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Websense\EIP Infra\apache\bin> openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey certificate.key -in [certificate file] -out certificate.pfx
  2. When prompted, enter your private key password and set a password for the .pfx file using only alphanumeric characters.
  3. On the page Settings > Inbound/Outbound > TLS Certificate, click Import. A confirmation dialog box displays.
  4. In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes. An Import Certificate area appears below the Import button.
  5. Use Browse to navigate to your third-party certificate (.pfx) file. When you select the file, its filename appears in the Certificate file field.
  6. Enter the password you specified in your CSR. The maximum length is 100 characters.
  7. Click OK.
