Adding Certificates

Question

Good day. I would like to ask for your assistance about adding an updated certificate to publish my webserver. When I try to add a certificate, It will not show up on my Business application rule>>>> Https Certificate Entries. I uploaded the .dem file or the .cer file but it wont show up. 
 Thank you so much. 
 Regards,

Glad to hear :) For future reference, Ensure to generate/save the private key while generating the CSR. It'll make the rest of the process easier. You can either use a Certificate + Priv Key combo or just convert to PKCS12 as you did.

Hi, Thanks for reaching out to Sophos Community.

Make sure that you're importing the certificate with the Private-key. Certificates uploaded (PEM or CER or DER) without private keys could appear valid (if the intermediate and root CA are present) but you can't use the certificates without private-key with WAF Business application rules.

A private key is usually generated along with CSR and then CA uses the CSR and gives you the signed certificate.

For example, Importing a certificate without a private key is shown as valid but isn't available to use in WAF rule

Hi Davesh, 
 
 Good day. I already solved the issue. I downloaded the ssl certificates files (PEM, CER and PK7) files and converted it to make it a .PFX. 
 After that to produce a .key format which is required for the Sophos XG, I use an Open SSL program. 
 It is now working. 
 Thank you all for the advise.
