Installing or Downloading an Existing Certificate and Key
You can download the already-installed certificate and private key from any
HPDU for backup or file transfer. For example, you can install the files onto a
replacement HPDU device, and add the certificate to your browser. If valid
certificate and private key files are already available, you can install them on
the HPDU without going through the process of creating a CSR or a self‑signed
certificate.
Note -
If you are using a certificate that is part of a chain of certificates,
each part of the chain is signed during the validation process.
-
To download active key and certificate files from the HPDU, select Device
Settings → Security → TLS Certificate.
-
In the Active TLS Certificate section, click Download Key and
Download Certificate respectively.
Note -
The Download Key button in the New TLS Certificate section, if
it displays, is for downloading the newly-created private key,
not the currently-installed certificate.
-
When prompted to open or save the file, click Save.
-

key or certificate file or both.

To check whether the certificate is installed successfully, verify the
data in the Active TLS Certificate section.
