Importing SmartZone as Client Certificate
When you have an SSL certificate issued by
the certificate provider, you can import it into the controller and use it for HTTPS
communication.
To complete this procedure, you will need the following:
Note: The file size of each signed certificate and intermediate certificate must not exceed
8192 bytes. If a certificate exceeds 8192 bytes, you will be unable to import it into
the controller.
To import a signed server certificate, perform the following:
- Copy the signed certificate file, intermediate CA certificate file, and private key file to a location (either on the local drive or a network share) that you can access from the controller web interface.
- Click .
This displays SZ as a Client Certificate page.

Certificate: To upload any of the options in this section, select
the corresponding check box, click Browse and select
the location in your local system and upload the certificate.

Only CRT or PEM format is supported for the CA certificate.Note: If you are using this SSL certificate for a Hotspot 2.0 configuration, you must also import a root CA certificate.
- Click OK.
