Importing Certificates from PFX Files

You can import a TLS certificate in the following situations:

  • Your organization uses a TLS certificate signed by a CA and you have a copy of this certificate in a file of PFX format.
  • You have generated a self-signed TLS certificate in the PFX format with a third-party tool and you want to import it to Veeam Backup & Replication.

The TLS certificate must pass validation on the Veeam backup server. In the opposite case, you will not be able to import the TLS certificate.

  1. From the main menu, select Options.
  2. Click the Security tab.
