Activating named certificates using the Web UI

Prev Next

Use the Certificate Management page to activate the web-cert certificate on the Web server, and on the Email Security — Server appliance to activate the mta-cert certificate on the MTA.

Note

The VX Series appliance has a CLI, but it does not have a Web UI. The recommended method for this configuration on a VX Series appliance is through the managing Central Management System appliance Web UI.

Perform this procedure only if the system self-signed certificate is currently active on the Web server or MTA.

To activate the certificate on the Web server:
  1. Click the Settings tab on all appliances except the HX Series. On the HX Series appliance, select Appliance Settings from the Admin menu.

  2. Click Certificates/Keys in the sidebar and locate the HTTPS Configuration section.

To activate the certificate on the MTA:
  1. Click the Settings tab.

  2. Click Certificates/Keys in the sidebar and locate the MTA Certificate Configuration section.
