Naming Certificates

As you create certificates on the appliance, you should observe the following guidelines:

1. Identify the caching service for which the certificate will be used.
2. Pick a name for the certificate that you will easily associate with its corresponding caching service. The name must contain only alphanumeric characters and no spaces.

   For example, you might pick Foo for the name of the foo.gov Web server accelerator or Marketing for the transparent service in the marketing department.

3. Identify the DNS hostname that the browser expects to find in the certificate.
