Concatenate an Existing Certificate and Private Key

Before you begin

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.

    Note

    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.
