About the Certificate Authority Group Page

You are here: Device Administration > Certificate Management > Trusted Certificate Authority.

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.

You can perform the following tasks:

  • Import a CA group to manually load the CA group. See Import a Trusted CA Group.

  • Add a CA group. See Add a CA Group.

    Note:

    You can group up to maximum of 20 CA profiles in a single trusted CA group. A minimum of one CA profile is a must to create a trusted CA group.

  • Edit a CA group. See Edit a CA Group.

  • Delete a CA group. See Delete a CA Group.

  • Search for text in a CA group table. See Search Text in the Certificate Authority Group Table.

  • Filter the CA group information based on select criteria. To do this, select the filter icon at the upper-right corner of the table. The columns in the grid change to accept filter options. Type the filter options; the table displays only the data that fits the filtering criteria.

  • Show or hide columns in the CA group table. To do this, use the Show Hide Columns icon in the upper-right corner of the page and select the options you want to show or deselect to hide options on the page.
