    Table 1 Built-in CA certificate parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Name

    Name of a built-in CA certificate. The value of this parameter can be RootCA, Web, Service, MicroService, and External.

    Type

    Type of a built-in CA certificate. The value of this parameter can be Root CA certificate or Subordinate CA certificate.

    NOTE:

    Only subordinate CA certificates can be used to issue digital certificates.

    Issuer Certificate Name

    Name of the issuer certificate. Subordinate CA certificates are issued by the root CA certificate.

    Used By

    User of a built-in CA certificate.

    Key Algorithm

    Key algorithm of a built-in CA certificate.

    Start Time

    Start time of the validity period of a built-in CA certificate.

    Expiration Time

    Expiration time of a built-in CA certificate.

    SN

    Serial number of a built-in CA certificate.

    Signature Hash Algorithm

    Signature algorithm used by a built-in CA certificate.

    Status

    Status of a built-in CA certificate.

    Expiration Warning Days

    Number of days before a CA certificate expires. When the period starts, the system sends warning to users about the expiration. The value ranges from 7 to 180, in unit of days.

    Issued By

    Issuer of a built-in CA certificate.

    Fingerprint

    Hashed value of the content of a built-in CA certificate. This value is unique for every certificate. When a device obtains a certificate, the certificate fingerprint is required to ensure that the certificate content is not tampered with by unauthorized users. If the certificate fingerprint is different from that configured in the PKI domain, the device will refuse the certificate.

    Parameters Expiration Warning Days, Issued By, and Fingerprint are displayed only after you click the name of a built-in CA to go to the details page.

  3. Click the name of a built-in CA certificate to view its basic information and the digital certificates issued by it.

    The Root CA cannot issue digital certificates. Therefore, you will see no issued digital certificates after clicking the name of the Root CA.
