Self-Signed CA Management

Sub-menu: /certificate ca


Starting from RouterOS version 6 it is possible to manage and create self-signed CAs. It is not possible to import self signed CAs here. Implementation was made based on RFC 5280 and all certificates are X.509 v3.


All certificate fingerprints are SHA1. All private keys and CA export passphrase are stored encrypted with hardware ID. CRL renewal happens at every certificate revocation and after 24hours.
