Import an externally signed VPN gateway certificate
You can import a certificate signed by an external certificate issuer for a VPN Gateway element when the certificate request has been created in the SMC.
For security reasons, it is not possible to import externally generated private keys.
Note: Prior to software versions 6.10.8 all CAs that issues certificates for your VPNs must be configured in
the SMC and be included as trusted both at the gateway and VPN Profile levels. In later versions only trust anchor certificates must
be configured as trusted. Possible intermediate CAs must be included in the certificate bundle that are being imported as the VPN gateway certificate.
