  3. Select the certificate file to upload or paste the certificate data into the field.

  4. Select the certificate purpose:

    • Certificate only: The certificate is added to the certificates list.
    • Certificate authority only: Select this option if you generated a CA certificate. It's added to the list under Certificates > Certificate authorities.

    • Certificate and certificate authority: Select this option to upload the certificate and its root or subordinate CA.

      When you upload a CA certificate, its common name is used as the CA's Name. You can change the name.

    After the firewall imports the certificates, it deletes the CSR.
