Configuring and displaying remote certificates<br />

A remote certificate identifies one or more peers that can be involved<br />

in a VPN connection with a <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>. The <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> can<br />

import existing certificates into its Remote Certificates database, or it<br />

can create new remote certificates. In either case, all certificates<br />

should be in place before you begin configuring a VPN.<br />

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

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

window appears.<br />

The Remote Certificates tab enables you to view the list <strong>of</strong> available<br />

remote certificates. These certificates represent the potential peers<br />

with which <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> can establish a VPN connection. To display<br />

the properties <strong>of</strong> a specific certificate, select the certificate from within<br />

the list. Its properties are displayed on the right portion <strong>of</strong> the<br />

window. For a description <strong>of</strong> these properties, see “Adding a remote<br />

certificate”.<br />

Note: You cannot modify the properties <strong>of</strong> a certificate from this window. To modify a<br />

certificate you must delete it and then add it back using the new properties.
