Importing a certificate into Fortimanager

[jvilches]

Should the certificates be imported into each firewall and then applied from Fortimanager to the cluster?

Greetings!

To import a certificate into FortiManager and apply it to managed FortiGates, follow these steps:

1. Import Certificates into FortiManager:
- Upload the CA certificate under the FortiManager's CA certificate section.
- Import the signed server certificates (and keys) as local certificates in FortiManager.

2. Apply Certificates to FortiGates:
- Once the certificates are imported into FortiManager, you can use FortiManager to deploy these certificates to the managed FortiGate devices.
- You do not need to import the certificates directly into each FortiGate manually if you are managing them through FortiManager.

This process allows you to centrally manage and deploy certificates across your FortiGate devices using FortiManager.
