Chapter 34: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Certificate Commands

512

Note

For a review of the steps to configuring the web server for a CA
certificate, refer to “SET HTTP SERVER” on page 491.

The ENROLLMENTREQUEST parameter specifies a filename for the
request. The filename can contain from 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters. If
spaces are used, the name must be enclosed in quotes. The management
software automatically adds the “.csr” extension. This is the filename
under which the request will be stored in the file system.

The KEYPAIR parameter specifies the key that you want to use to create
the enrollment request. The public key of the pair is incorporated into the
request.

The FORMAT parameter specifies the type of encoding format for the
request. DER specifies that the enrollment request should be written
straight to the binary file. PEM specifies that the enrollment request should
be encoded using the “Privacy Enhanced Mail” format. The default is
DER. This parameter is only valid for manual enrollment.

The TYPE parameter specifies the type of request. The only option is
PKCS10.

You do not need to use the SAVE CONFIGURATION command after you
create an enrollment request. The file is permanently saved in the file
system until you manually delete it.

Examples

The following command creates an enrollment request. It names the
enrollment request file “Switch12” and uses the key pair with the ID 4 to
generate the request:

create pki enrollmentrequest=Switch12 keypair=4
