Certificate Summary Field

Description

System Name

The Certificate Name is the database label. It is used to refer to this certificate in the GUI and stores this name in its database.

The default name for a certificate from the JKS keystore is an arbitrary string. Names for other certificates are built from the issuer relative distinguished name (RDN) and serial number of the certificate.

You can change a certificate name to a shorter or more recognizable name when checking in or editing the certificate.

Thumbprint

Information for the SHA1 hash is included by default. To configure computation and display of thumbprint information for other hashes, edit the ui.properties file.

Status

A real-time check of current status, stating whether certificate dates are valid and the certificate has been verified. To configure whether or not this information is computed at the time of display, edit the ui.properties file.

Although this information applies to summary information for a CA certificate, similar fields appear in summary and confirmation screens for other types of certificates.
