If you aren’t using the getcert page, you can export certificates from Smoothwall On-Premise Appliance to deploy to domain-joined and BYO devices using your preferred MDM solution.
- Go to System > Certificates > Certificates for Services.
- Hover over the certificate or CA you want to export.
- Select Export.
- For What to export, select the required format:
Tip
Select the ? icon to view details about each type.
- Certificate: Use this when a client device, application, or service needs to verify the identity of the Smoothwall system. This option exports only the certificate in PEM format.
- Certificate (binary format): Use this for the same purpose as above, but to export only the certificate in DER format.
- Certificate and chain: Use this to identify a system that can’t provide the full chain of trust. This option exports the certificate and all preceding certificates in the chain as a single .p7b file in PKCS#7 format.
-
Certificate and keys: Use this when destination systems require the certificate to sign or encrypt data. This option exports the certificate along with its private and public keys as a single .p12 file in PKCS#12 format.
Important
Exporting both the certificate and keys includes the Certificate Authority’s private key. Carefully consider with whom you share this and where, as it may pose a security risk.
- If you selected Certificate and keys, you can choose to add a password (this option won’t appear for other formats).
- Select Export.
