Currently, Zyxel switch only supports self-signed certificates.

Therefore, user @ihr would like to request adding support for importing CA-signed certificates that include an intermediate CA chain (PKCS12 format) into the switch.

This suggestion originated from the post found here:

Import certificate - ERROR: Import custom CA fail — Zyxel Community

    ​Hi @Zyxel_Tina ,
    ​You have my absolute full support for this! I have just voted.
    ​I recently submitted a similar feature request specifically for the new GS1200-8 v3, but this is clearly a necessity across the entire Zyxel switch lineup.


    ​In my environment (and many Prosumer/SMB setups), we use systems like OPNsense as an Internal Certificate Authority and Let's Encrypt for local domain management. Being forced to use hardcoded self-signed certificates completely breaks the Zero-Trust architecture and results in constant browser warnings.


    ​Supporting the PKCS12 format (to include the intermediate chain) is a brilliant approach. If the WebUI could support either PKCS12 or the standard PEM format (.crt + .key), it would perfectly solve the issue for everyone.


    ​Please urge the development team to implement this feature, and please consider rolling it out to the entry-level Web-Managed series (like the GS1200 v3) as well, not just the high-end models. Thank you for listening to the community!
