Certificate Management

About this task

A stored certificate can be used from a different managed device if you prefer not to use an existing certificate or key. Device certificates can be imported and exported to and from the controller or service platform to a secure remote location for archive and retrieval as required for other managed devices.

To configure trustpoints for use with certificates:

Procedure

  1. Select Launch Manager from SSH RSA Key, RADIUS Certificate Authority, or RADIUS Server Certificate parameters.
    The Manage Certificates tab displays by default.
    Click to expand in new window

  2. Select a device from among those displayed to review its certificate information.
  3. Refer to All Certificate Details to review the certificate's properties, self-signed credentials, validity duration, and CA information.
  4. To optionally import a certificate, click the Import button at the bottom of the Manage Certificates screen.

    The Import New Trustpoint screen displays. You can use this screen to import CA certificates, CRLs and signed certificates to the controller or service platform once the network credentials of the file transfer have been defined.

  5. Click OK to import the defined trustpoint.
    Click Cancel to revert to the last saved configuration.
