Certificate List

Figure 114: rvrd Certificate List

Item	Description
certificate number	Use this number to refer to the certificate in the Certificate Uses panel.
Add from File	Enter a file name and a private key password. When you click Add from File, the daemon reads the certificate with private key from the file. The file may be in either PEM encoding, or PKCS #12 format. See also Security Factors.
Add from Text	Paste the text of a certificate with private key. Enter a private key password. The certificate must be in PEM encoding. See also Security Factors.

Each daemon process creates a self-signed certificate at start time, and registers it in the list as certificate #1. You may use that certificate as is, add other certificates to the list, or delete it and enter other certificates. For security information, see Level of Trust—CA-Signed versus Self-Signed Certificates.

This self-signed certificate expires one year after creation.

You can also supply certificates signed by a certificate authority (CA). To use a CA-signed certificate, you must supply not only the certificate and private key, but also the CA’s public certificate (or a chain of such certificates). Concatenate these items in one file or string. For more details, see CA-Signed Certificates.

CA-signed certificates expire at dates recorded within the certificate data.
