LABEL DESCRIPTION
Name This field displays the identifying name of this certificate. If you want to change the
name, type up to 31 characters to identify this certificate. You may use any
character (not including spaces).
Property
Default self-signed
certificate which
signs the imported
remote host
certificates. Select this check box to have the ZyWALL use this certificate to sign the trusted
remote host certificates that you import to the ZyWALL. This check box is only
available with self-signed certificates.
If this check box is already selected, you cannot clear it in this screen, you must
select this check box in another self-signed certificate’s details screen. This
automatically clears the check box in the details screen of the certificate that was
previously set to sign the imported trusted remote host certificates.
Certification Path Click the Refresh button to have this read-only text box display the hierarchy of
certification authorities that validate the certificate (and the certificate itself).
If the issuing certification authority is one that you have imported as a trusted
certification authority, it may be the only certification authority in the list (along with
the certificate itself). If the certificate is a self-signed certificate, the certificate itself
is the only one in the list. The ZyWALL does not trust the certificate and displays
“Not trusted” in this field if any certificate on the path has expired or been revoked.
Refresh Click Refresh to display the certification path.
Certificate
Information These read-only fields display detailed information about the certificate.
Type This field displays general information about the certificate. “CA-signed” means
that a Certification Authority signed the certificate. “Self-signed” means that the
certificate’s owner signed the certificate (not a certification authority). “X.509”
means that this certificate was created and signed according to the ITU-T X.509
recommendation that defines the formats for public-key certificates.
Version This field displays the X.509 version number.
Serial Number This field displays the certificate’s identification number given by the certification
authority or generated by the ZyWALL.
Subject This field displays information that identifies the owner of the certificate, such as
Common Name (CN), Organizational Unit (OU), Organization (O) and Country (C).
Issuer This field displays identifying information about the certificate’s issuing certification
authority, such as Common Name, Organizational Unit, Organization and Country.
With self-signed certificates, this is the same as the Subject Name field.
