Import a Certificate or Key

If you use a third-party CA to sign certificates, generate and export a CSR, send it to the CA, and when the CA returns the signed certificate and private key file, import the certificate into ExtremeCloud IQ. Extreme Networks devices support PEM-formatted certificates.

Use the following procedure to import a CSR:

Select the import icon.
Use Select to navigate to the location of the certificate file.
Select Open.
Select Import.
Select whether this file is a certificate or key.
To import certificates in PFX or DER formats, you must first use the conversion tool to reformat them as PEM files.
To import a PFX-formatted file, which contains a certificate and private key combined, first convert its format from PFX to PEM:
1. Select Convert the certificate format from PFX to PEM.
2. Enter the password that was used to encrypt the PFX file.
3. Select Save.
Note
When you use the PEM-formatted file that contains both the certificate and private key, you must choose the same file for both the Certificate and Private Key fields.
To import a pair of DER-formatted files, one containing a certificate and the other its accompanying private key, first convert their format from DER to PEM:
1. Select Convert the certificate format from DER to PEM.
2. If converting a key, enter the password that was used to encrypt the file.
1. Select Save.
Select Save.
