Multiple CA profiles can be grouped in one trusted CA group for a given topology. The ca-group can be used either in SSL or IPSec.
SSL forward proxy ensures secure transmission of data between a client and a server. Before establishing a secure connection, SSL forward proxy checks certificate authority (CA) certificates to verify signatures on server certificates. For this reason, a reasonable list of trusted CA certificates is required to effectively authenticate servers.
Table 324 provides the details of the fields of the Certificate Authority Group Page.
