Chapter 34: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Certificate Commands
518
SET SYSTEM DISTINGUISHEDNAME
Syntax
set system distinguishedname=" name "
Parameter
distinguishedname Specifies the distinguished name for the switch.
The name must be enclosed in quotes.
Description
This command sets the distinguished name for the switch. The
distinguished name is used to create a self signed certificate or enrollment
request. For a explanation of distinguished names, refer to Chapter 27,
“PKI Certificates and SSL” in the <Italic>AT-S63 Management Software
Menus Interface User’s Guide.
Allied Telesyn recommends using the switch’s IP address or, for networks
with a Domain Name System, its domain name as the distinguished name.
For slave switches, which do not have an IP address, you can use the IP
address or domain name of the master switch of the enhanced stack as
the slave switch’s distinguished name.
To set the distinguished name when creating a self signed certificate, you
can use this command or you can set it directly in “CREATE PKI
CERTIFICATE” on page 508, which is the command for creating a self
signed certificate. It has a parameter for setting the distinguished name.
If you are creating an enrollment request, you must set the distinguished
name with this command first before creating the request. The command
for creating an enrollment request is “CREATE PKI
ENROLLMENTREQUEST” on page 511.
Example
The following command sets the switch’s distinguished name to the IP
address 169.22.22.22:
set system distinguishedname="cn=169.22.22.22"
