SSL Keyring

The FortiProxy keyring file includes a list of SSL client certificates (maximum 240,000) or certificate chains in PEM format. The file is stored on the FortiProxy disk and is not encrypted. You can upload the file using the GUI or SCP.

The keyring list must start with #keyring, and uses the following format:

#keyring:1
<private_key_1>
<certificate_1>
<optional_certificate_chain_1>
#keyring:2
<private_key_2>
<certificate_2>
<optional_certificate_chain_2>
....

For example:

#keyring:1
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
MC4CAQ...arfLXfXrEve+Yb8zQ
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MII...SDg==
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
#keyring:2
-----BEGIN EC PARAMETERS-----
