Technical Note: Unable to properly import certificate into FortiAnalyzer
Description
Solution
When importing a signed certificate into the FortiAnalyzer, the certificate may automatically populate the friendly certificate name.
In some cases the certificate name populated automatically may contain special characters. The certificate will be accepted but the object will not be given a proper name, instead a single erroneous character may be seen.
This will prevent the selection of the desired certificate in other areas when needed.
It will also not allow the deletion of the object using the GUI.
