Import an Audit Log Client Certificate into the Firewall Management Center

Before you begin

  • Obtain a Signed Audit Log Client Certificate for the Firewall Management Center.

  • Make sure you are importing the signed certificate for the correct Firewall Management Center.

  • If the signing authority that generated the certificate requires you to trust an intermediate CA, be prepared to provide the necessary certificate chain (or certificate path). The CA that signed the client certificate must be the same CA that signed any intermediate certificates in the certificate chain.
