Importing user certificates and private keys (one PKCS12 file)

You can import a user certificate and private key together. A PKCS#12 file is password encrypted and contains both a certificate/certificate chain and the corresponding private key.

  1. In the web UI, go to Administration > Certificate Management > Certificates. In the native UI, go to Tools > Certificate Manager or click the Certificates button in the tool bar.
  2. Right-click the Users store in the tree pane and select Import > User Certificate and Private Key...
  3. Type a new user alias.
  4. Enter the password of the private key being imported. If the private key is unprotected (that is, it does not have a password), enter a password and select Add password to unprotected key.
  5. Select Personal Information Exchange-PKCS #12 (.P12).
  6. Enter or browse for the PKCS12 filename.  The PKCS12 file extension does not matter, as long as it is a valid PKCS12 file.
  7. Click Import to import the user certificate (possibly with chain) and the private key.
