Generating Private/Public Keys

A unique El Gamal private/public key pair is produced on all APSs. In most
cases, these keys do not need to change. However, if you believe the keys
have been compromised and your network security is subject to risk, you can
generate a new El Gamal private/public key pair by performing the
following steps:

NOTE

When you regenerate the El Gamal private/public keys, Aurorean

users who employ IPSec protocol cannot tunnel into the corporate

network until a set of core files containing the new public key are

distributed. To build core files that contain the new key, refer to the

instructions in Chapter 6.

1

Open the Configuration pullout.

2

Click on the Activity icon in the lower left corner of the pullout to
switch to the Active Tunnel/Service List view.

3

Expand the tree list under Active Service List (click the + symbol).

4

Click on Enterasys Authentication.

The Service Control display for the Authentication Service appears as
shown in Figure 49.
