Installation of a certificate for the Netgear SSL VPN concentrator

For uploading the certificate to the SSL VPN Concentrator, the certificate information must be in a zipped file containing a certificate file named server.crt and a private key file named server.key. If the zipped file does not contain these two files, the zipped file will not be uploaded. Any file name will be accepted, but it must have the .zip extension.

Your Private Key is located in the CSR.zip, the file created while generating your CSR.

Note: Do not upload the CSR file to the SSL VPN Concentrator.

To upload and enable the new certificate:

1. Under the System Configuration menu in the left navigation pane, select Certificates.
2. In the Import Digital Certificate table, select Browse to locate the zipped digital certificate file on your disk or network drive.
3. Click Upload to save the file to the Cert Description table.
4. Once the certificate has been uploaded, the certificate will be displayed in the Certificates table. You may make the new uploaded certificate used by the SSL VPN concentrator, by clicking the Enable link for the new certificate. In the View Certificates window that is opened, enter the Certificate Password (if applicable) and click Enable.
5. The SSL VPN concentrator will be restarted and it will use the new certificate thereafter.

You can view the details of a certicate by clicking the Cert Description link. Status of a certificate is Active, if the certificate is within the validity period. If the certificate is not within the validity period, the certificate status is Inactive.
