Interoperability Profile for the XSR

14-50 Configuring the Virtual Private Network

1.

Begin by asking your CA administrator for your CA name and URL. The CA’s URL defines its
IP address, path and default port (80). You can resolve the CA server address manually by
pinging its IP address.

2.

Be sure that the XSR time setting is correct according to the UTC time zone so that it is
synchronized with the CA’s time. For example:

XSR#clock timezone -7 0

3.

Specify the enrollment URL, authenticate the CA and retrieve the root certificate. Check your
CA Website to ensure that the printed fingerprint matches the CA's fingerprint, which is
retrieved from the CA itself, to verify the CA is not a fake. If bona fide, accept the certificate, if
not, check to be sure the certificate is deleted and not stored in the CA database. In certain
situations you may need to specify a particular CA identity name. Consult your administrator
for more information.

XSR(config)#crypto ca identity hightest
XSR(config-ca-identity)#enrollment url http://192.168.1.33/certsrv/mscep/
mscep.dll/
XSR(config-ca-identity)#exit
XSR(config)#crypto ca authenticate PKItestca1

Certificate has the following attributes:
Fingerprint: D423E129 81904CE0 1E6D0FE0 A123A302
Do you accept this certificate? [yes/no] y

4.

Display your CA certificates to verify all root and associated certificates are present. In the RA
Mode example below, Hightest is the root CA of three certificates. Non-RA Mode CAs return
one certificate only.
