This document describes how to install a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate, which includes an SSL intermediate certificate, via the CLI on a Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA).
Prerequistes
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:
- ESA
- All versions of AsyncOS
Install a SSL Certificate
The ESA will prompt for the intermediate certificate after the server certificate. If needed, you can install more than one intermediate certificate.
Here is an example output.
Note: These are self-signed test certificates. Do not try to use them.
