SSL Certificate Management

The Parallels RAS Console includes a certificate management interface that allows you to manage all of your SSL certificates in one place.

Certificates are managed on a Site level. Once a certificate is added to a Site, it can be used with any RAS Secure Client Gateway or HALB that also exist in this Site.

To manage certificates, in the RAS Console, navigate to Farm > Site > Certificates. The Certificates tab in the right pane displays the existing certificates. When you install Parallels RAS, the <Default> self-signed certificate is created automatically, so you will see at least this certificate in the list. The default certificate is also automatically assigned to all new RAS Secure Client Gateways and HALB.

You can perform the following certificate management tasks in the Certificates sub-category:

• Generate a self-signed certificate
• Generate a certificate signing request (CSR)
• Import a certificate from file
• Export a certificate to a file
• Assigning a certificate to Gateways and HALB
• Audit certificates
• Set permissions to manage certificates

The subsequent sections describe certificate management tasks in detail and provide additional certificate information and instructions.
