ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308 Reference Manual 3. Click the Upload table button. If the verification process on the VPN firewall approves the digital certificate for validity and purpose, the digital certificate is added to the Trusted Certificates (CA Certificate) table. To delete one or more digital certificates: 1. In the Trusted Certificates (CA Certificate) table, select the check box to the left of the digital certificate that you want to delete, or click the Select All table button to select all digital certificates. 2. Click the Delete table button. Managing Self Certificates Instead of obtaining a digital certificate from a CA, you can generate and sign your own digital certificate. However, a self-signed digital certificate triggers a warning from most browsers because it provides no protection against identity theft of the server. Figure 7-12 on page 7-20 shows an image of a browser security alert. There can be three reasons why a security alert is generated for a security certificate: • The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust. • The date of the security certificate is invalid. • The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site. When a security alert is generated, the user can decide whether or not to trust the host. Figure 7-12 7-20 Managing Users, Authentication, and Certificates v1.0, April 2010
