Import certificates

This feature enables you to import certificates into a certificate management policy, ensuring efficient and policy-compliant certificate ingestion.

Before you begin

  • While creating your certificate management policy, you have selected the option Policy will be used for certificate issuance only. Requires an Essentials license under the certificate management model.

  • You have also selected the option Bath certificate request through portal and REST API under the Certificate management methods.

  • Ensure that the certificates you import have .pem file extension.

If you have not yet created a certificate management policy, see Create a certificate management policy.
