LABEL DESCRIPTION

Certificate in PEM
(Base-64) Encoded
Format

This read-only text box displays the certificate or certification request in Privacy
Enhanced Mail (PEM) format. PEM uses 64 ASCII characters to convert the binary
certificate into a printable form.

You can copy and paste a certification request into a certification authority’s web
page, an e-mail that you send to the certification authority or a text editor and save
the file on a management computer for later manual enrollment.

You can copy and paste a certificate into an e-mail to send to friends or colleagues
or you can copy and paste a certificate into a text editor and save the file on a
management computer for later distribution (via floppy disk for example).

opens, browse to the location that you want to use and click Save.

Apply

name, except in the case of a self-signed certificate, which you can also set to be
the default self-signed certificate that signs the imported trusted remote host
certificates.

15.9 Trusted CAs

Click CERTIFICATES, Trusted CAs to open the Trusted CAs screen. This screen displays a summary list
of certificates of the certification authorities that you have set the ZyWALL to accept as trusted. The
ZyWALL accepts any valid certificate signed by a certification authority on this list as being trustworthy;
thus you do not need to import any certificate that is signed by one of these certification authorities. See the
following figure.
