configure ssl certificate pregenerated
Description
Obtains the pre-generated certificate from the user.
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
- RSA for public key cryptography (generation of certificate and public-private key pair, certificate signing). RSA key size between 1024 and 4096 bits.
- Symmetric ciphers (for data encryption): RC4, DES, and 3DES.
- Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms: RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm and SHA.
This command is also used when downloading or uploading the configuration. Do not modify the certificate stored in the uploaded configuration file because the certificate is signed using the issuer's private key.
The certificate and private key file should be in PEM format and generated using RSA as the cryptography algorithm.
Example
The following command obtains the pre-generated certificate from the user:
configure ssl certificate pregenerated
Next, you open the certificate and then copy and paste the certificate into the console/Telnet session, followed by a blank line to end the command.
