Fortigate renew GoDaddy Cert

 Have a GoDaddy cert that has expired, and you need to update your Fortinet device, here are the steps I use to update it.

  1. Renew Cert @ Godddy
  2. Download certificate with server type = Other
  3. Extract the zip file
  4. With a text Editor open the .crt file that does not start with "gd"
  5. Copy the contents of the file to your clipboard
  6. Log into Fortigate
  7. Open Command line / Terminal
  8. Type: config vpn certificate local
  9. Type: show (Verify the name of the cert you are updating"
  10. Type: edit sslvpn (or your cert name)
  11. See Example at the end of this post, however type this sequence 
    1. Type: set certificate “
    2. Paste the contents of the .crt file
    3. Type: "
    4. Type: enter
    5. Type: End
  12. The Cert should now show valid


 set certificate “—–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—– YBBAGCNxUHBm7xorRWhO7dYIcmuTrsCeCCA0gwPQYJKwDAwLgYmKwYBBAGCNxUIKtkziB9KY0PjDQDYkYHKcTrGa6aLYfd+BwIDAQABo4IDTDH7e1w1uM7kdaBAjyAgM>—–END CERTIFICATE—–“
