Allow for import of Wildcard Certificate on FS5200 for securing WebUI

Currently on the FS5200, you have to create a certificate request and then upload the certificate generated from the request in order to secure the WebUI on the FS5200.  We use Wildcard Certificates so that we don't have to order a new cert for each device with a web user interface.  Please consider updating the code on the FS5200 to import existing wildcard certificates for securing the WebUI

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request.

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming deliverable because it is not consistent with the product architecture and security best practices.

    We support creating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) using wildcards in the domain name. However, we do not support importing an existing wildcard certificate and private key.

    Using external CA such as Verisign to sign one wildcard certificate for the entire domain can compromise all systems. If you do not have an internal company CA, using self-signed certificates or system signed certificates will provide better security.

    We appreciate your input and hope that you will continue to submit enhancement requests, as this feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of the FlashSystem family.

    Thanks,
    FlashSystem Team
