Import a Certificate

About this task

Using the Certificate Management tool, you can import the following types of certificates:
  • Server certificates: You can import a certificate (chain) file of the PEM, PFX, or P12 format. To import a certificate of the PFX or a P12 format, you must enter a password.
  • Issuer certificates: You can import a certificate file of the PEM format that contains only one certificate for the root CA. If you are currently using a certificate for the external UAA instance, it is replaced by the imported certificate.
