[phil_rose]

Description	This article describes how to use the FortiManager GUI to install a certificate on a FortiGate and then configure the FortiGate to use that certificate for admin GUI access.
Scope	FortiManager.
Solution	This article assumes that a certificate has been created and is either a PKCS#12 file or PEM files, which contain both the certificate and the private key. Navigate to Device & Groups, and select the FortiGate that the certificate will be installed on. Navigate to System -> Certificates (if this is not visible, enable it in Feature Visibility). Select Import -> Local Certificates. For PKCS#12, choose PKCS#12 Certificate and add the PKCS#12 file. For PEM format, choose Certificate and add the key and certificate files. If there is a password, include that in the Password field. Select OK to import the certificate. Navigate to System -> Settings -> Administration Settings -> HTTPS Server Certificate and select the imported certificate. Install device settings on the FortiGate to push the certificate and configuration changes.
