That post does apply to the SMA.
Correct - there is not a GUI option on the SMA. You will need to run the 'certconfig' command on the CLI, and import the certficate --- either one you have, or once you receive this back from the CA.

How do I install certificates on an Cisco Content Security Management Appliance (SMA)?
Prerequisites:
You must have the following items available in PEM format:
- X.509 certificate
- Private key that matches your certificate
- Any intermediate certificates provided by your Certificate Authority
Certificates can be used for 4 different services:
- Inbound TLS
- Outbound TLS
- HTTPS
- LDAPS
You can choose to either use the same certificate for all 4 services or use separate certificates for each.
Installing the Certificates:
To begin, you will first need to access your IronPort via the Command Line Interface. This can be done either
via telnet or an SSH client such as PuTTY.
Once logged into the CLI, please use the following steps:
- Issue the command 'certconfig'
- Issue the command 'setup'
- Choose whether to use the same certificate for all features or separate certificates
- When prompted paste each item into the CLI window
- Enter a '.' on it's own line to indicate that you are done pasting the current item (see example below)
- Be sure to enter any intermediate certificates when prompted to do so
- When you are done, return to the main prompt by hitting enter
- Issue the 'commit' command
Notes:
- When performing a certificate install on Microsoft Windows you may need to open your certificates with Wordpad instead of Notepad.
- Do not exit the certconfig command with Ctrl+C since this will immediately cancel your changes.
Example:
sma.example.com> certconfig
Currently using one certificate/key for receiving, delivery, HTTPS management access, and LDAPS.
Choose the operation you want to perform:
- SETUP - Configure security certificates and keys.
- PRINT - Display configured certificates/keys.
- CLEAR - Clear configured certificates/keys.
