Certificates)
Select the type of the imported certificate:
• Identity: If you are importing an identity
certificate.
• CA-Chain: If the import is a chain of
certificate authorities leading to the root
certificate authority. The imported CA-
chain can contain one or more
certificates linking its associated identity
certificate to the root-CA and may or may
not include the root-CA itself (that will
only be trusted if imported as a root-CA).
• root-CA: If you are importing a root CA
certificate.These certificates are the
anchor of trust of the certificate
authorities you decide to trust and are
generally publicly available from the CA
Web sites. They are used by the device
when validating the chain of trust of an
identity certificate and its CA-chain.
NOTE:
Even though you can see the
buttons, clicking
Import
in either the ID or
CA sections may cause error messages to
be displayed, i.e.:
• If you select CA-root in the import from
the ID.
• If you select Identity or CA-chain in the
import from the ca-root.
