Managing Service Certificates

Prerequisites

• The service that requires certificate management has been deployed.
• You have the following permissions: Query Certificate, Import Certificate, and Delete Certificate.
• You have obtained the certificate to be imported or updated and its information, including passwords, certificate type, public key, private key, private key password, and certificate chain of the identity certificate.

Context

If the page for configuring certificates of a service does not contain the Identity Certificate, Trust Certificate, or Certificate Revocation List tab page, the service does not have the corresponding type of certificate and the corresponding tab page does not need to be displayed.

Procedure

1. Choose System > About > Certificate Management from the main menu.
2. In the navigation pane, select Service Certificate Management.
3. On the Services page, click the service with certificate to be imported.
4. Configure the certificate information based on the certificate type. The identity certificate is used as an example.
   1. Click the Identity Certificate tab.
      

      • If the certificate type is trust certificate, click the Trust Certificate tab.
      • If the certificate type is certificate revocation list, click the Certificate Revocation List tab.
   2. Click Import.
   3. Configure the certificate information.

5. Click Submit.

Related Tasks

• Delete certificates
  

  Deleting certificates may cause the services that use the certificates to become interrupted. Exercise caution when deleting certificates.

  Click in the Operation column of the row that contains the desired certificate to delete the certificate.

• View the certificate update status.

  For an imported certificate, view the certificate update status in Certificate Update Status.

  

  If the Certificate Update Status tab page is not displayed for a service, the service does not need to use this function, which is normal.

Follow-up Procedure

Restart the corresponding service for the imported certificate to take effect. For details, see "Uploading and Updating Certificates Using Certificate Management" in Administrator Guide.
