For information about managing certificates, see following topics:

Note

The Keys section at the bottom of the page pertains to Secure Shell (SSH) host key authentication. For details, see Obtaining a host key using the Web UI.

The VX Series appliance has a CLI, but it does not have a Web UI. The recommended method for this configuration on a VX Series appliance is through the managing Central Management System appliance Web UI.

To view certificates:
  1. Log in to the managing Central Management System Web UI.

  2. Click the Settings tab.

  3. (For HX tabs) Select Appliance Settings from the Admin menu.

  4. Click the Appliance Settings subtab.

  5. Use the Groups drop-down list to select a VX Series appliance or MVX cluster group.

    By default, all appliances in the group are selected, and the page shows the settings for the first appliance in the group only.

  6. (Optional) Use the Appliance drop-down list to select a specific VX Series appliance. The "Showing" field shows the name of the selected appliance.

    If you want the changes you make to the current appliance to be automatically applied to all other appliances in the group, select the Write changes to group checkbox.

  7. Click Certificates/Keys on the sidebar.

  8. View common certificate attributes in any section on the page:

    • System Self-Signed Certificate

    • HTTPS Configuration

    • MTA Certificate Configuration

    • CA Certificates

  9. Click the link in the Certificate column to view all certificate attributes in a separate browser window.

Example

The following example shows the attributes of a system self-signed certificate.

After you click system-self-signed, the following window opens. Scroll down to view all of the data.

Note

In this example, the https in the address bar is crossed out because self-signed certificates are not typically included in the trusted root of the browser.

These examples are from an Email Security — Server appliance, but they are representative of other appliances as well.
