About the Trusted Certificate Authority Page

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

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:

  • Generate a default trusted CAs. See Generate Default Trusted Certificate Authorities.

  • Enroll a CA certificate using the Simple Certificate Enrollment Process (SCEP) or Certificate Management Protocol (CMPv2). With SCEP or CMPv2, you can configure Juniper Network device to obtain a local certificate online and start the online enrollment for the specified certificate ID. See Enroll a CA Certificate.

  • Import a CA certificate to manually load CA certificates and CRL. See Import a CA Certificate.

  • Add a CA profile. See Add a Certificate Authority Profile.

  • Edit a CA profile. See Edit a Certificate Authority Profile.

  • Delete a CA profile. See Delete a Certificate Authority Profile.

  • Search for text in a Trusted Certificate Authority table. See Search Text in the Trusted Certificate Authority Table.

  • Filter the trusted CA 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.
