Export an RSA Key

The keys utilized by a controller, service platform or access point can be exported to an external resource for archive and future use.

Export the key to a redundant RADIUS server to import it without generating a second key. If there is more than one RADIUS authentication server, export the certificate and do not generate a second key unless you want to deploy two root certificates.

Use this procedure to export an RSA key.

Go to Devices and select a target device.
Select the Certificates tab.
Select the RSA Keys tab.

Select

and configure the parameters as described in .
