crypto pkcs12

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
