Certificate and Private Key Format

Certificate Format

You can copy and paste the certificate body to create a certificate or directly upload the certificate.

A certificate issued by the Root CA is unique, and no additional certificates are required. The configured site is considered trustable by access devices such as a browser.

The body of the server and CA certificates must meet the requirements as described below.

  • The content starts with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and ends with -----END CERTIFICATE-----.
  • Each row contains 64 characters except the last row.
  • There are no empty rows.

The following is an example:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

Private Key Format

When creating a server certificate, you also need to upload the private key of the certificate. You can copy and paste the private key content or directly upload the private key in the required format.

Private keys must be unencrypted and meet the following requirements:

  • The value must be in PEM format.
    • The content must start with -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- and end with -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----.
    • The content must start with -----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY----- and end with -----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----.
  • There are no empty rows. Each row must contain 64 characters except the last row.

The following is an example:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
