IN-tact 1101 Software Configuration Guide 49
File Management Functions
To load an SSL certificate:
1. Verify that the certificate is in PEM format. PEM-formatted certificates generally end with a
PEM extension and are viewable in Notepad. A typical PEM certificate might appear as:
There may be other sections and other data within the file. If the certificate is not in PEM
format, then it must first be converted using OpenSSL (a freely available software package on
the Internet) before the IN-tact 1101 can use it.
2. Once the file is in PEM format, change the file name to the OpenSSL name. This name
consists of an eight-character filename, which is the computer hash value in hexadecimal and
the number zero is the filename extension. This can be determined with the following
command in OpenSSL:
>> openssl x509 -hash -in mycert.pem -noout
The result will be an eight-character alphanumeric string, such as “557C3410”. The file must
be renamed to add an extension of “.0”. In this case, the renamed file would be “557C3410.0”.
3. On the File Management Functions screen, click Browse (next to Load SSL Certificate to
IN-tact).
4. Navigate to and select the SSL certificate and click Open.
5. Click Load to upload the certificate to the IN-tact 1101.
A red message appears if there is an error with this operation.
If the operation is successful, the certificate becomes active and the name of the file appears
in this field. The certificate is now ready for use.
