Uploading cryptographic key files

To process encrypted traffic, you must upload the appropriate cryptographic keys (so called SSL keys) to the system. To perform this procedure, you must have Security-level access. 

Before you begin

Ensure that the following conditions are met:

• The key file is available on your network or the local computer that you use to browse the web interface of this device.
• The key file is in DER, PEM, or PFX format.

To upload a cryptographic key

1. In the Real User Collector component, point to Administration > Security settings, and then click Key management.
2. On the Action menu, click Add new key.
3. In the Key name box, enter the name for the key.
    A key name must start with an alphanumerical character (letter or number). It can contain up to 60 ASCII-printable characters. Valid characters include letters, numbers, dashes, underscores, and periods.
    For example, MyKey.
4. In the Description box, enter a description for the key, such as Key for decrypting my traffic.
5. Click Browse and locate the key file (for example, 1_cryptoKey.pem), and then click OK.

6. In the Password box, the password for the key file (for example, crypt0pa$$).

   Note

   Key passwords can contain up to 255 ASCII-printable characters.

7. Click Save.

Result

The new key is uploaded and appears in the Keys view. Now you can enable this key.
