Your system accepts the following certificate file formats:
.pem
,
.der
, and PKCS #7 (which
typically has a
.p7b
file name extension).
The system checks the certificate data and, if the upload is successful, adds it to the page.
With your CA-signed certificate installed, your system is trusted by its network peers (provided that a root
certificate has established a chain of trust). This allows you to navigate with your web browser over a
secure connection to the system web interface and perform administrative tasks.
View a Certificate
The system lists user-installed certificates in the system web interface, where you also can view the
contents of those certificates.

When you delete all user-installed certificates, your system reverts to using the factory-installed
certificate. This option isn’t available if your certificate is provisioned to the system.
Note:
Deleting system settings by default retains your user-installed certificates, but performing a
factory reset removes these certificates.
