Certificates

Go to System > Certificates to manage certificates.

There are three types of certificates that FortiPAM uses:

  • Local certificates: Local certificates are issued for a specific server or web site. Generally they are very specific and often for an internal enterprise network.

  • CA certificates: External CA certificates are similar to local certificates, except they apply to a broader range of addresses or to whole company. A CA certificate would be issued for an entire web domain, instead of just a single web page. External CA certificates can be deleted, downloaded, and their details can be viewed, in the same way as local certificates.

  • Remote certificates: These remote certificates are public certificates without private keys. They can be deleted, imported, and downloaded, and their details can be viewed in the same way as local certificates.

The Certificates tab contains the following options:

+Create/Import

From the dropdown, select Certificate, Generate CSR, CA Certificate, Remote Certificate, and CRL.
