By default, a WildFire appliance uses predefined certificates
for mutual authentication to establish the SSL connections used
for management access and inter-device communication. However, you
can configure authentication using custom certificates instead.
Custom certificates allow you to establish a unique chain of trust
to ensure mutual authentication between your WildFire appliance
and firewalls or Panorama. You can generate these certificates locally
on Panorama or a the firewall, obtain them from a trusted third-party
certificate authority (CA), or obtain certificates from enterprise
private key infrastructure (PKI).
The following topics describe how to configure standalone WildFire
appliances that are not managed by Panorama. For configuring custom
certificates for WildFire appliances and WildFire cluster managed
by Panorama, see the
Panorama Admin Guide.
