DESCRIPTION

PKI Storage

Space in Use

This bar displays the percentage of the ZyWALL’s PKI storage space that is

currently in use. When you are using 80% or less of the storage space, the bar is

green. When the amount of space used is over 80%, the bar is red. When the bar

is red, you should consider deleting expired or unnecessary certificates before

adding more certificates.

Replace

This button displays when the ZyWALL has the factory default certificate. The

factory default certificate is common to all ZyWALLs that use certificates. ZyXEL

recommends that you use this button to replace the factory default certificate with

one that uses your ZyWALL's MAC address.

#

This field displays the certificate index number. The certificates are listed in

alphabetical order.

Name

This field displays the name used to identify this certificate. It is recommended that

you give each certificate a unique name.

Type

This field displays what kind of certificate this is.
REQ represents a certification request and is not yet a valid certificate. Send a

certification request to a certification authority, which then issues a certificate. Use

the My Certificate Import screen to import the certificate and replace the request.
SELF represents a self-signed certificate.
*SELF represents the default self-signed certificate, which the ZyWALL uses to

sign imported trusted remote host certificates.
CERT represents a certificate issued by a certification authority.

Subject

This field displays identifying information about the certificate’s owner, such as CN

(Common Name), OU (Organizational Unit or department), O (Organization or

company) and C (Country). It is recommended that each certificate have unique

subject information.
