Step 1 - In the System | Certificates page, Click Import. The Import Certificate window is displayed.
Step 2 - Select Import a CA certificate from a PKCS#7 (*.p7b) or DER (.der or .cer) encoded file. The Import Certificate window settings change.
Step 3 - Enter the path to the certificate file in the Please select a file to import field or click Browse to locate the certificate file, and then click Open to set the directory path to the certificate.
Step 4 - Click Import to import the certificate into the SonicWall security appliance. Once it is imported, you can view the certificate entry in the Certificates and Certificate Requests table.
Step 5 - Moving your pointer to the Magnifier icon in the Details column displays the certificate details information.

Step 2 - Enter a certificate name in the Certificate Name field.
Step 3 - Enter the password used by your Certificate Authority to encrypt the PKCS#12 file in the Certificate Management Password field.
Step 4 - Enter the path to the certificate file in the Please select a file to import field or click Browse to locate the certificate file, and then click Open to set the directory path to the certificate.
Step 5 - Click Import to import the certificate into the SonicWall security appliance. Once it is imported, you can view the certificate entry in the Certificates and Certificate Requests table.
