CA Certificate Names

The CA certificate name is not part of the content of the certificate. They are built from the issuer Relative Distinguished Name (RDN) and serial number of the certificate. However, certificates from the JKS keystore are named with an arbitrary string.

Because the certificate name is stored in the system database and is used as the alias to refer to the certificate in the GUI, you may want to rename CA certificates with shorter or more meaningful names based on your file naming conventions. Certificates can be renamed when checked in or when edited.
