Certificate names (CN) tab

In this screen, custom certificate name categories can be created, and may be useful in SSL filtering (Configuration > Security policy > SSL filtering module).

The screen is split into two parts - one for custom certificate name categories, and the other for certificate names added to a category.

Grid of custom certificate name categories

The following operations can be performed:

Add a customized category	Creates a new category. Clicking on this button creates a new line, allowing you to name the category and add comments if necessary.
Delete	Deletes an existing category. Select the category in question, then click on the button. If the category is in use, a warning message will ask you to confirm the operation.
Check usage	Checks whether a category is being used in a configuration. Select the category in question, then click on the button. The results of the check are shown in the module tree.

The grid includes the following:

Certificate name category (CN)	Name of the category.
Comments	Description of the category.

NOTE
The number of characters for certificate name categories is restricted to 255.

Grid of certificate names in a category

The contents of the grid of certificate names (right) can be refreshed by selecting a custom certificate name category from the grid on the left.

The following actions can be performed in the grid:

Add a certificate name	Adds a certificate name to a category. Clicking on this button creates a new line, allowing you to name the certificate and add comments if necessary. The name can contain a wildcard (*) as long as it is placed at the beginning of a URL and followed by a dot.
Delete	Deletes a certificate name from a category. Select the name of the certificate in question, then click on the button.

The grid includes the following:

Certificate name (CN):	Name of the certificate. It can contain a wildcard (*) as long as it is placed at the beginning of a URL and followed by a dot.
Comments	You can add a comment in this field to describe each name.

The list of Characters allowed and syntax restrictions apply only to certificate names. Wildcards (*) can be used to replace any character sequence, but must be placed at the beginning of a URL followed by a dot.

EXAMPLE
*.company.com makes it possible to include all sub-domains of company.com (e.g. mail.company.com or www.company.com).
