Concatenate an Existing Certificate and Private Key

Before generating a certificate, make sure the time and date on the ExtremeCloud IQ clock are accurate. Otherwise, the certificate might be rejected during validation because the starting date has not occurred or the expiration date has passed.

Use this task to create a new file containing a concatenation of a server certificate and an unencrypted private key.

Enter a name for the concatenated certificate/private key file.
Enter an optional note about the certificate for later reference.
Select the certificate you want to use from the drop-down list.
You can also select Import to import a certificate. See Import a Certificate or Key.
Select a private key method from the drop-down list.
You can also select Import to import a key. See Import a Certificate or Key.
Enter the corresponding password for encrypting and decrypting the private key linked to the public key in the CA.
Select Save..

Note
Although you cannot change the certificate and private key in a concatenated file, you can modify the name and description. For example, if you give a certificate file a name and description based on the location of the device, and then you have to move it, you can easily modify these attributes for your own reference. Select the name of the file, modify the Certificate Name and Description fields, and then select Update.
