Importing Certificates
You can import keys and certificates from another machine, and import a certificate to an existing
Signing Request to complete its process.
Keys and certificates are imported in PEM format. If you have separate PEM files for Key and for
certificate, you must to import them consecutively with the same entry name.
To import a certificate or key
1. In the Configuration perspective Setup tab navigation pane, select Certificates.
2. Click the Import button below the table.
3. Configure import certificate parameters, and click OK to start the import.
Exporting Certificates
Key, certificate and signing request export is used for backup purposes, moving existing
configurations to another system or for completion of Signing Request processes. You can export
certificates from a device by copying and pasting a key or by downloading a file. Keys and
certificates are exported to PEM format.
Note: The Radware key is created without a Radware password at system startup, thus it can
be exported without a Radware password.

Passphrase

protected by a passphrase. The passphrase should be at least four
characters, and Radware recommends using stronger passwords than that
based on letters, numbers, and signs.
