The preinstalled standard certificate contains data which is naturally not customer-specific.
If you want to work with a certificate with customer-specific data, you can at any time create and use such a certificate. This action can also be necessary when you want to renew a certificate. Proceed as follows:
> | Select Authorizations -> Certificates -> [<mu-name> (MU)], Certificates tab. |
> | Click Create and enable new SSL certificate above the table. A dialog opens:
Enter the most important data for the certificate. The value for the Common name (CN) is predefined and contains the system’s fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Information on the attributes Organization (O), Organizational unit (OU), Locality (L), State (ST), Country (C), Email address (emailAddress), Validity period in days is provided in the online help. |
> | Click Create and enable. |
The certificate is created, activated immediately and displayed as the current certificate.
Notes:
When a certificate is activated, the web server is also automatically rebooted.
As the web browser does not know how trustworthy the new certificate is, like the standard certificate it must be explicitly accepted or imported (see the section "Confirming/importing a certificate in the web browser").
