Exporting the CSR for FCAP

You will need to export the CSR file created in

“Generating the key and CSR for FCAP”

section and

send to a Certificate Authority (CA). The CA will in turn provide two files as outlined in

“FCAP

configuration overview”

on page 215.

1. Log in to the switch using an account with admin permissions, or an account associated with

the chassis role and having OM permissions for the PKI RBAC class of commands.

2. Enter the secCertUtil export –fcapswcsr command.

switch:admin> seccertutil export -fcapswcsr
Select protocol [ftp or scp]: scp
Enter IP address: 10.1.2.3
Enter remote directory: /myHome/jdoe/OPENSSL
Enter Login Name: jdoe
[email protected]'s password: <hidden text>
Success: exported FCAP CA certificate

Importing CA for FCAP

Once you receive the files back from the Certificate Authority, you will need to install or import them
onto the local and remote switches.

1. Log in to the switch using an account with admin permissions, or an account associated with

the chassis role and having OM permissions for the PKI RBAC class of commands.

2. Enter the secCertUtil import –fcapcacert command and verify the CA certificates are

consistent on both local and remote switches.

switch:admin> seccertutil import -fcapcacert
Select protocol [ftp or scp]: scp
Enter IP address: 10.1.2.3
Enter remote directory: /myHome/jdoe/OPENSSL
Enter certificate name (must have a ".pem" suffix):CACert.pem
Enter Login Name: jdoe
[email protected]'s password: <hidden text>
Success: imported certificate [CACert.pem].
