Key Store

The Key Store is the repository containing RSA and DSA private keys, and optionally the corresponding X.509 Certificate.

The Key Store contains 2 tabs: Keys and Certificates.

Keys tab

The Keys tab of the Key Store card lists imported RSA and DSA private keys.

These columns are available in the Keys tab:

• Name: unique name of the key

• Algorithm: RSA or DSA algorithm

• Size: size of the key

The 3 dots icon allows you to access the Details, Export and Delete options.

To create a Key, follow these steps:

1. In the Key Store section, verify that the Keys tab is selected.

2. Click the New button to open the New key window and proceed as follows:

   1. click the UPLOAD button to import the certificate, then select the Type, Format and enter the Password

   2. or create a new key by filling in these fields:

      • Name: enter the name of the key.

      • Subject: attribute subjects of a certificate: CN: CommonName OU: OrganizationalUnit O: Organization

      • Algorithm: SHA1WithRSA SHA256WithRSA SHA512WithRSA SHA1WithDSA SHA256WithDSA SHA512WithDSA

      • Size: SIZE_512 SIZE_1024 SIZE_2048 SIZE_3072 SIZE_4096

      • Self-signed: enable the toggle button if you want a self-signed X.509 certificate to be generated for this private key. If this toggle is enabled, the Validity field will appear.

      • Validity: it is available only if the Self signed key toggle is enabled. Insert a positive value indicating the validity of the key (in days).

3. Press Upload or Save to confirm.

Certificates tab

The Certificates tab of the Key Store card lists the certificates of the RSA and DSA private keys. These columns are available in the Certificates tab:

• Name: unique name assigned to the key

• Serial Number

• Issuer DN and Subject DN

• Not before: the certificate cannot be used before the date specified

• Not after: the certificate cannot be used after the date specified

The Not before and Not after columns can be ordered in ascending or descending mode.

The 3 dots icon allows you to access the Details, Export and Delete options.

To create a Certificate, follow these steps:

1. In the Key Store section, verify that the Certificates tab is selected.

2. Click the New button to open the New certificate window and proceed as follows:

   1. click the UPLOAD button to import the certificate, then select a Key and a Format.

   2. or make a new request by filling in these fields:

      • Key: select the name of the key label

      • Subject: Select the attribute subjects of a certificate among:

        • CN: CommonName

        • OU: OrganizationalUnit

        • O: Organization

      • Algorithm: select one of the options among:

        • SHA1WithRSA

        • SHA256WithRSA

        • SHA512WithRSA

        • SHA1WithDSA

        • SHA256WithDSA

        • SHA512WithDSA
