Is the certificate that your installing a rootCA? if you try to intall a non-toot CA as a CA certificate it will fail and error out. Run the cert thru openssl and validate the CA type

 

eg

openssl x509 -in myprivrootCA.cer -noout -text | grep CA

                CA:TRUE

 

This will confirm the cert is not corrupt and also validate that it is a "rootCA"

hi,

thanx for reply. RootCA is trusted, am using this CA on other machines like Cisco ASA, Router. This CA is openssl based and self-signed. I cant verify on fortigate ca is trusted or not cause ca cert not installed. i want to use ipsec s2s vpn on fortigate using rsa auth, thats why need ca cert.

"Input is not a valid CA certificate."

 

same error from web. checked date and time, they are correct.
