To obtain a new CA-signed SSL certificate:
1.
Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) on the PDU. See
Creating a New SSL Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
(on page 101).
2.
Submit it to a certificate authority (CA). After the CA processes the information in the CSR, it provides you with a
certificate.
3.
Install the CA-signed certificate onto the PDU. See
and Certificate (on page 103).
Note: If you are using a certificate that is part of a chain of certificates, each part of the chain is signed during the validation
process.
A CSR is not required in either scenario below:
•
If you make the PDU create a
self-signed
certificate. See
Creating a Self-Signed Certificate
•
If appropriate, valid certificate and key files are already available, and you just need to install them. See
Downloading Existing Certificate and Key
(on page 105).
