Configuring a CA certificate bundle

Prev Next

You can configure Certificate Authority (CA) certificate bundles that are used to validate client certificates by using the appliance CLI.

The appliance supports single PEM-encoded certificates. A set of intermediate and root CA certificates are used to validate the certificates from the CAC card and they are presented to the appliance. You can download a certificate bundle from a remote URL, import all the certificates to the appliance, and add the certificates to the specified bundle list.

The following important attributes are provided in the certificate:

  • Subject

  • Public Key

  • Serial Number

  • Valid to (expiration date)

  • Key Usage

  • Subject Alternative Name

For details about how to define the certificate attributes, see Defining default certificate attributes.

Prerequisites
  • Admin access to the appliance.

  • (Optional) LDAP servers have been configured to authorize users. For details about how to configure an LDAP server, see LDAP server configuration.
