RSA Key Management
Refer to the
RSA Keys screen to review
existing RSA key configurations that have been applied to managed devices. If an
existing key does not meet the needs of a pending certificate request, generate a new
key or import/export an existing key to and from a remote location.
RSA (Rivest,
Shamir, and Adleman) is an algorithm for public key cryptography. The
algorithm can be used for certificate signing and encryption. When a device
trustpoint is created, the RSA key is the private key used with the
trustpoint.
To review existing device RSA key
configurations, generate additional keys, or import/export keys to and from remote
locations:
-
In the Certificate
Management screen, select Launch Manager
from either the SSH RSA Key, RADIUS Certificate Authority, or RADIUS Server
Certificate parameters.
-
Click RSA Keys from the
Certificate
Management screen.
Certificate Management
- RSA Keys Screen
-
Select a listed device to review its current RSA
key configuration.
Each key can have its size and character syntax displayed. Once reviewed,
optionally generate a new RSA key, import a key from a selected device, export a
key to a remote location, or delete a key from a selected device.
-
Click Generate Key to
create a new key with a defined size.
Certificate Management - Generate RSA Keys Screen
-
Define the following configuration parameters required for the
Import of the key.
| Key Name |
Enter the 32-character maximum
name assigned to the RSA key. |
| Key Size |
Set the size of the key as either
2048 (bits) or 4096 (bits). Leaving this value at the
default setting of 2048 is recommended to ensure optimum
functionality. |
-
Click OK to generate the RSA
key.
Click Cancel to revert to the last
saved configuration.
