The Personal certificates page lists all personal certificates in the selected key store. We can do most certificate management operations in this panel, including creating a new self-signed certificate, deleting a certificate, receiving one generated from a CA, replacing a certificate (simultaneous delete and create, replacing references across all key stores), extracting the signer, and importing or exporting a personal certificate.
Personal certificate requests are temporary place holders for certificates that will be signed by a certificate authority (CA).
The Key store collection must contain at least two key store files. We must select one file in order to replace, extract, or export a key store,
Button Resulting action Create (drop-down list) Create self-signed, CA-signed, or chained certificate. Delete Delete a certificate from the key store. Be careful that the certificate alias is not referenced elsewhere in the Secure Sockets Layer configuration. Receive a certificate from a certificate authority Enables the application server to receive a certificate authority (CA)-generated certificate from a file to complete a certificate request. Replace Replace a personal certificate with another personal certificate. All key stores in the configuration looking for signer certificate form the original personal certificate and replaces them with the new personal certificates signer. Any place in the security configuration where the certificate alias is referenced will be replaced with the new certificate alias. Extract Extract the signer part of personal certificate from the key store and stores it to a file. The file can then be used to add the signer to another key store. Import Import a certificate, including the private key, from a key store file or managed key store. Export Export a certificate, including the private key, to a specified key store file or manage key store. Revoke Revoke a CA-signed certificate. Renew Renew a self signed or chained certificate.
