configure ssl certificate hash-algorithm

configure ssl certificate hash-algorithm hash_algorithm

Description

This command configures the hash algorithm.

Syntax Description


ssl	SSL.
certificate	Certificate.
hash-algorithm	Hash algorithm to use (Default SHA-512).
`hash_algorithm`	Name of hash algorithm to use (Default SHA-512).

Default

SHA-512 algorithm.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure the hash algorithm. Once configured, this configured algorithm will be used for the next certificate creation. Previously MD5 was the only hashing algorithm available. As of ExtremeXOS 16.1, the default has been changed to more secure SHA-512 algorithm. If you prefer the older version, you can configure to the least secure MD5 hashing algorithm.

Example

The following example displays the show ssl output with the SHA-512 algorithm configured:

X460G2-48t-10G4.5 # show ssl
HTTPS Port Number: 443 (Enabled)
Signature Algorithm configured: SHA-512 with RSA Encryption
Private Key matches the Certificate's public key.
RSA Key Length: 1024
Certificate:
