Upload Remote Certificate

To upload a new certificate, click the Upload Remote Certificate link.

You may want to upload a certificate from one Guardian Digital VPN Server to another. There are two different formats: PKCS#12 and PEM-encoded.

PKCS#12 is a single file which contains several authentication credentials. For example, one PKCS#12 file may contain an X.509 certificate, a private RSA key, and a CA certificate. This format is commonly used to import credentials into a Windows cleitn.

PEM encoding is the most portable of the formats. In this format each file contains a credential. Thjere will be one file for the X.509 certificate and one file for the private RSA key.

Upload PKCS#12

PKCS#12 is a standard for key exchange. It is a single file which contains a CA certificate and a matching certificate/key pair. If you would like to upload a PKCS#12 file then select the file from your local computer, enter a password if you need one, and click "Proceed with Upload."

Upload Certificate and Key

This option lets you upload two separate files: a PEM-encoded X.509 certificate and a PEM-encoded, non-encrypted RSA private key. Select the files from your local disk and click "Proceed with Upload."

If the uploaded files are not valid or the PKCS#12 password is wrong, you will receive an error message. If the credentials are successfully imported they will appear in the "Remote Certificates" list.
