It's pretty easy.

Since I have to do that, I've typed it up as I did it.

Device Management > Clean Access Servers  > your clean access server

Network > Certs
Action: Export CSR / Private Key / Certificate

1.  Export your private key (to back it up)
2.  Export a CSR save it as something you will find.  I usually name it
like so:  ccasmachinename.domain.edu.csr


Submit your CSR to your Certificate Authority. (I've used both Verisign
and IPSCA in the past.  IPSCA is free for edu's. (1 year certs))

They'll give you a cert back. (Usually installing it VIA Internet
explorer when you visit the claim page, so make sure you use IE with the
CA sites)

Export it from your machine as a PEM encoded x.509 cert  (I can detail
this more if you want, but it's a longer process than what I've just
typed)

Goto
Device Management > Clean Access Servers  > your clean access server

Network > Certs
Action Import Certificate
Upload the CA-signed PEM encoded x.509 cert

Depending on your CA, you might have to uploade a Root/Intermediate CA.
(For example, if you roll your own CA)
Hit the Verify and install Uploaded Certificates.

This used to require the CAS to reboot, so plan for that.  (I don't know
if it does it now, but It's easier to plan for it.)

You have to perform this action on BOTH of your CAS's on the HA pair.

So visit the secondary unit by using it's management URL.

https://servername.domain.edu/admin

SSL Cert's on the left.  Same directions as above.
