File management – CA Certificate
CA Certificate page is used to manage CA certificate files so they can be used for peer
authentication.
Certification authority (CA) certificates are certificates that are issued by a CA to itself or to a second CA for
the purpose of creating a defined relationship between the two CAs. A certificate that is issued by a CA to
itself is referred to as a trusted root certificate, because it is intended to establish a point of ultimate trust for
a CA hierarchy. Once the trusted root has been established, it can be used to authorize subordinate CAs to
issue certificates on its behalf. Although the relationship between CAs is most commonly hierarchical, CA
certificates can also be used to establish trust relationships between CAs in two different public key
infrastructure (PKI) hierarchies. In all of these cases, the CA certificate is critical to defining the certificate
path and usage restrictions for all end entity certificates issued for use in the PKI.
Usually this file is called ca.crt and it can be generated with various tools, for example with OpenSSL,
OpenVPN e.t.c.
There are options to first browse for the file, then to upload the file. After one or more files are uploaded, a
table with uploaded files is shown with the option to delete each of them if they are no longer needed.

Local Certificate page is used to manage local client certificate files so they can be used for peer
authentication.
In cryptography, a client certificate is a type of digital certificate that is used by client systems to make
authenticated requests to a remote server. Client certificates play a key role in many mutual authentication
designs, providing strong assurances of a requester's identity. Usually this file is called client1.crt and it can
be generated with various tools, for example with OpenSSL, OpenVPN e.t.c. There are options to first
browse for the file, then to upload the file. After one or more files are uploaded, a table with uploaded files
is shown with the option to delete each of them if they are no longer needed.
