After approval and generation, receive/download the certificate file(s) from the CA.

The user can import a signed certificate in CLI under the admin/certificates menu with the help of the import_certid command. This command does not need any arguments. After invocation the CLI awaits the input of a signed certificate beginning with the string -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and ending with the string -----END CERTIFICATE-----. The certificate should be in pem format (text).

If the certificate is valid (the certificate text is valid and also the certificate Is based on a CSR generated on the same ipol machine) the ipol machine will import the certificate into ipoffice application.

Upon successful operation an Operation Successful will be reported to the user.

The user will be able to read and set the certificate distribution flag through the read_distribution_flag and set_distribution_flag (on/off) so the certificate will remain the default one only for the ipoffice application (distribution flag off) or it will be distributed for all the applications on the machine (distribution flag on).
