Provision certificates to Radware Alteon ADC

Provision a certificate from Certificate Manager - SaaS to a Radware Alteon ADC. Certificate Manager - SaaS imports the certificate and its chain, creates the SSL policy you name or updates it if it exists, and assigns the certificate and the policy to a virtual service that already exists. Provisioning never creates virtual servers or virtual services.

Before you begin

  • A Radware Alteon ADC machine that you created and whose status is Verified.
  • The certificate to provision in the Certificate Manager - SaaS inventory, with its private key.
  • The System Administrator or PKI Administrator role, or the Resource Owner role and membership in the machine's owning team.
  • The virtual server, and a virtual service on it that listens on the port you want. Both must already exist on the Radware Alteon ADC.
  • No pending configuration changes on the Radware Alteon ADC. Apply and save any pending changes before you provision. If changes are pending, provisioning fails.

To provision a certificate to Radware Alteon ADC

  1. Sign in to Certificate Manager - SaaS.
  2. Click Installations > Machines.
  3. Click the more options button at the end of the machine's row, and then select Provision.

  4. In Search a certificate by name, expiration or fingerprint, enter part of the certificate's name, expiration date, or fingerprint, and then select the certificate from the results. Confirm that it's the right certificate by checking Subject DN, Validity, and Certificate SHA1 Fingerprint.

    The rest of the Provision a certificate dialog appears after you select a certificate.

  5. (Optional) Under Certificate Information, in Server Certificate ID, enter the ID to store the certificate under on the Radware Alteon ADC. If you leave it empty, Certificate Manager - SaaS uses the certificate's serial number.

  6. In SSL Policy ID, enter the ID of the SSL policy to assign to the virtual service. If the policy doesn't exist, Certificate Manager - SaaS creates it. If it exists, Certificate Manager - SaaS replaces its server certificate and intermediate certificate chain and enables it.
  7. Under Installation Endpoint, in Virtual Server ID, enter the ID of the virtual server. It must already exist.
  8. In Virtual Service Port, enter the port of the virtual service on that virtual server. A virtual service on that port must already exist.
  9. (Optional) To save the installation without pushing the certificate now, disable Push certificate on save.
  10. Click Save. To save and then provision another certificate, click Save & New.

After you save, Certificate Manager - SaaS imports the certificate, its private key, and its chain. It groups the intermediate certificates into a certificate group, creates or updates the SSL policy, and then sets the virtual service's server certificate and SSL policy. It applies and saves the Radware Alteon ADC configuration after each change. An installation then appears on the machine's Installations tab. To provision on a schedule instead of right away, set up a machine provisioning schedule.
