This certificate can be exchanged by importing a certificate from a file. Certificates can be written to a file using Export to File in section Certificate in the CA Management module. Certificates to import from disk must have been in the file format *.p12 format with CA chain. Unfortunately limiting the browse box to only import *.p12 is just so obviously wrong. we need to expect a huge variety of certificates that are either issues by a CA or self signed and are either Client/Server,Client Root Trust/Email/SSL and all the bundle of these which have different file extensions. The application does not even tell us the valid of importing them into YAST...What does this actually do? The available help below is so very very poor. Unquote.
