Importing certificates

  1. Go to Identities > Certificates > Certificate management.
  2. Click Import.
  3. Click Select certificates and select the appropriate files from your directory.
  4. Click Open to add the files to your selection. Repeat steps 3 and 4 step if necessary.

    NOTE: If you want to import cryptographic keys from multiple directories, repeat this procedure as often as needed. The other selected files are also added to the list. You can delete unwanted files from the list.

  5. Assign the appropriate passwords to certificate files in PFX or P12 format.
  6. Click Next to start the import. After validation, all successfully validated key files are displayed in the upper list, all unsuccessfully validated keys in the lower list.
  7. Click Finish.

NOTE: When private cryptographic keys are imported for a domain that already contains public keys, the public keys are deleted. If private and public keys of the same domain are imported at the same time, the server only stores the private keys.

NOTE: When importing a cryptographic key with several email addresses, it is possible that the domains of the different email addresses of this key are both in the list of own domains and in the partners. When importing such a key, its type is important: When importing a private key, the email addresses whose domains are in the list of corporate domains are taken into account, the other email addresses are ignored. When you import a public key, new partners are created or an existing one is added for all email addresses whose domain does not belong to the local domains. The remaining email addresses are ignored.

NOTE: If you import root certificates or intermediate certificates as separate files or embedded in end certificates, they are automatically stored in the server's certificate store. Root certificates are then in the list of Trusted Root Certification Authorities and Intermediate Certificates are in the list of Intermediate Certification Authorities of the local computer.
