Note: On an WX switch that handles communications to and from
Microsoft Windows clients, use a one-time password of 31 characters
or fewer.

The following characters cannot be used as part of the one-time
password of a PKCS #12 file:

„

Quotation marks (“ ”)

„

Question mark (?)

„

Ampersand (&)

Defaults — None.

Access — Enabled.

History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0. Webaaa option renamed to
web in MSS Version 4.1.

Usage — The password allows the public-private key pair and certificate
to be installed together from the same PKCS #12 object file. MSS erases
the one-time password after processing the crypto pkcs12 command or
when you reboot the WX switch.

3Com recommends that you create a password that is memorable to you
but is not subject to easy guesses or a dictionary attack. For best results,
create a password of alphanumeric uppercase and lowercase characters.

Examples — The following command creates the one-time password
hap9iN#ss for installing an EAP certificate and key pair:

WX4400# crypto generate otp eap hap9iN#ss

OTP set
