Certificate renewal

[Andy M]

Hello,

I need to renew Messaging Gateway certificate(3^rd party cert).

Certificate is used for smtp/tls authentification only.

Is this the right way to create CSR,get 3^rd party cert and import?

This procedure doesnt say which cert format can be imported.I presume .pem format?

Any advice?

 
Requesting a certificate authority-signed certificate
A certificate authority-signed certificate is more likely than a self-signed certificate
to be effective for SMTP/TLS communication, and can also be used for HTTPS
communication..
To request a certificate authority-signed HTTPS or TLS certificate
1 In the Control Center, click Administration > Settings > Certificates.
2 Click the TLS & HTTPS Certificates tab.
3 Click Add.
4 In the Certificate name box, type a name for this certificate.
5 In the Certificatetypedrop-down list, click CertificationAuthoritySigned.
6 Fill in the information on the remainder of the page as appropriate.
7 Click Create.
8 Copy the block of text that appears, paste it into a text file, and save it.
Save the generated text as a text file. You can copy and paste the information
from the text file into a CA request form at a later time.
9 Submit the Certificate Authority-Signed Request (CSR) to a CA, using the
method that the CA requires.
Importing a certificate authority-signed certificate
When you receive a certificate from a certificate authority (CA), you must import
it to make it available in the Control Center. In addition to the certificate, the CA
might have sent you an intermediate CA certificate that you also need to install
in the Control Center.
Setting up certificates

1 When you receive the certificate file from the CA, save the file to a location
that you can access from the Control Center.
In some cases you may need to store more than one file, depending on your
certificate authority's requirements.
2 In the Control Center, click Administration > Settings > Certificates.
3 Click the TLS & HTTPS Certificates tab.
4 Click Import.
5 On the Import Certificate page, type the full path and the file name of the
certificate or click Browse and choose the file.
6 Click Import.
