This chapter includes the following sections:
To get started with certificates, open the Certificates tab on the VPN Client main window in advanced mode. The Certificates tab lists the certificates you currently have enrolled. If there are no certificate showing, you need to enroll with a CA or contact your system administrator.
The toolbar displays the tasks you can perform from the Certificates tab:
View--Displays the details of the currently selected certificate (for example, common name, department and so on)
Import--Imports a certificate from a file or certificate store
Enroll--Enrolls for a certificate with a certificate authority via the network or a file
Verify--Checks to see if the currently selected certificate has expired
Delete--Removes the currently selected certificate or certificate request from the certificate store
