Chapter 14: Configuring Virtual Private Networks<br />

Configuring Certificate Management<br />

Exporting a<br />

Certificate Authority<br />

422<br />

6 Click Add to add the CA to the Certificate Authority list. To define another<br />

certificate authority, repeat step 1–step 5.<br />

7 Click the Save icon.<br />

The Export Certificate window allows you to export the selected certificate from<br />

the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> to a separate file and/or to the screen. The certificate can<br />

be written to a file on the hard drive <strong>of</strong> a workstation, or it can be written to a<br />

transportable medium such as a floppy diskette or an zip disk. You can export<br />

only the certificate, or both the certificate and the private key.<br />

1 Select the Export Certificate (Typical) radio button.<br />

2 Select the export destination:<br />

• Export Certificate To File—To export the certificate to a file, select this<br />

option and proceed to step 3.<br />

• Export Certificate To Screen—Select this option to export the certificate<br />

to the screen.<br />

3 [Conditional] If you are exporting the certificate to file, do the following:<br />

• In the File field, type the name and location <strong>of</strong> the file to which the client<br />

(or firewall) certificate will be written. If you want to overwrite an existing<br />

file, but you are not certain <strong>of</strong> the path name or the file name, click<br />

Browse.<br />

• In the Format field, select the appropriate format for the file.<br />

4 Click OK to export the certificate to the desired location.<br />

The certificate has now been exported.<br />

Configuring and displaying Remote Identities<br />

Remote Identities can be created for two purposes. If you choose to have a<br />

Certificate Authority policy defined for a VPN (whereby a group <strong>of</strong> trusted CAs<br />

is authorized to issue certificates for access to the VPN), you will also require a<br />

list <strong>of</strong> Remote Identities. Remote Identities are used as part <strong>of</strong> a Security<br />

Association to determine which remote certificates from a CA may be used to<br />

authenticate to a VPN. You may also be required to configure a remote identity<br />

to be used in a Security Association for a s<strong>of</strong>tware client, such as the SafeNet<br />

S<strong>of</strong>tRemote client, using pre-shared passwords.<br />

In the Admin Console, select Services Configuration > Certificate<br />

Management, then select the Remote Identities tab. The following window<br />

appears.
