Hi Vishal,

 

It is not mandatory for the CSR to be generated from Fortigate only. You can generate it from any 3rd party as well to get the certificate. As you already have the certificate, you can upload, it will work.

As long as the wildcard cert matches your FGT hostname/ip why should it not work. 

However it is overkill someway :)

CSR is only mandatory for specific kinds of certs like a subca for deep inspection because you need to have the private key etc here. Its not needed for SSL certs like you need for the webinterface.
