Managing a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate
Administrator Help | Forcepoint Email Security | Version 8.5.x
Use the page Settings > Personal Email > SSL Certificate to manage the Personal Email Manager SSL certificate, which enables secure email transmission for Personal Email Manager appliances. You can use the default certificate provided with Personal Email Manager, or you can import a new enterprise certificate from a certificate authority (CA).
After email product installation, default certificate information appears on the page Settings > Personal Email > SSL Certificate, in the Certificate Details section. Details include the certificate version, serial number, issuer, and expiration date.
Importing a certificate
Importing an SSL certificate to Personal Email Manager from a CA replaces the current certificate. Personal Email Manager certificate information is automatically copied to a new appliance when it is added to the Forcepoint Security Manager Email Security module.

Click Import on the page Settings > Personal Email > SSL Certificate, below the Certificate Details area.

An Import Certificate area appears below the Import button.
3.
Enter the certificate filename in the Import Certificate field or navigate to it using Browse.
File format must be .jks, .p12, or .pfx.

An SSL certificate file should be password protected. Enter a password in the Certificate password field.
Maximum length is 100 characters; do not use special characters.
5.
Mark the Private key alias check box and enter an optional alias (or identifier) for the private key in the entry field.
6.
Mark the Private key password field and enter an optional password for the private key in the entry field.
Maximum length is 100 characters.

Click OK.
8.
