Importing your Root CA
Help | Content Gateway | Version 8.1.x
If your organization already has a Root CA, you can import it. This certificate must be trusted by all browsers in your organization. Be sure to back up any new internal Root CA that you import. See Backing up your internal Root CA for details.
1.
Go to Configure > SSL > Internal Root CA > Import Root CA.
2.
Browse to select the certificate. The certificate must be in X.509 format and base64-encoded.
3.
Browse to select the private key. It must correspond to the certificate you selected in Step 2.

Important 
The certificate and private key format must match.
Additionally, the private key format must match the format required by the importing node (unencrypted or encrypted).
To verify the certificate and private key format, view the files in a text editor. Use Backup Root CA to export the CA from the database.
