Importing signed certificates
Your CA will provide you with a signed certificate to install on the FortiGate unit. When
you receive the signed certificate from the CA, save the certificate on a PC that has
management access to the FortiGate unit.
Certification Name
Type a certificate name. Typically, this would be the name of the
FortiGate unit.
Subject Information
Enter the information needed to identify the FortiGate unit. Preferably
use an IP address or domain name. If this is impossible (such as with
a dialup client), use an email address.
•
For Host IP, enter the public IP address of the FortiGate unit being
certified.
•
For Domain name, enter the fully qualified domain name of the
FortiGate unit being certified. Do not include the protocol
specification (http://) or any port number or path names.
•
For E-mail, enter the email address of the owner of the FortiGate
unit being certified. Typically, email addresses are entered only
for clients, not gateways.

generate but more secure. Not all IPSec VPN products support all
three key sizes.
