7.7 Certificate Authority
This page allows to manage the CA, which are necessary for the correct working of an OpenVPN encrypted connection.
There are two ways to add a CA: Either by clicking on the link above the table of already existent certificates to generate
a new certificate, or by uploading one using the widgets below the table.
The table, once populated, shows the same information as in the Certificates tab, with the only difference in the Actions
available, which are:
▪ - to show all CA details.
▪ - to download it in PEM format.
▪ - to delete the certificate.
To upload a certificate, supply the following information:
CA name
The name of the Authority who created the certificate.
Certificate (PEM)
By clicking on the Browse button or on the textfield, a file chooser will open, in which to supply the path to the
certificate to be uploaded.
Clicking on the Upload CA certificate will start the upload process.
