Define the following configuration parameters to export a trustpoint:

Select OK to export the defined trustpoint. Select Cancel to revert the screen to its last saved
configuration.

To optionally delete a trustpoint, select the Delete button from within the Certificate Management
screen. Provide the trustpoint name within the Delete Trustpoint screen and optionally select the
Delete RSA Key option to remove the RSA key along with the trustpoint. Select OK to proceed with
the deletion, or Cancel to revert to the Certificate Management screen.

RSA Key Management

Certificate Management

Refer to the RSA Keys screen to review existing RSA key configurations applied to managed
devices. If an existing key does not meet the needs of a pending certificate request, generate a new
key or import or export an existing key to and from a remote location.

Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman (RSA) is an algorithm for public key cryptography. It’s an algorithm
that can be used for certificate signing and encryption. When a device trustpoint is created, the
RSA key is the private key used with the trustpoint.

To review existing device RSA key configurations, generate additional keys or import/export keys to
and from remote locations:

Select the Launch Manager button from either the SSH RSA Key or RADIUS Server Certificate
parameters (within the Certificate Management screen).

Select RSA Keys from the upper, left-hand side of the Certificate Management screen.

Trustpoint Name

Enter the 32 character maximum name assigned to the target trustpoint. The trustpoint
signing the certificate can be a certificate authority, corporation or individual.

URL

Provide the complete URL to the location of the trustpoint. If needed, select Advanced to
expand the dialog to display network address information to the location of the target
trustpoint. The number of additional fields that populate the screen is dependent on the
selected protocol.

Protocol

Select the protocol used for exporting the target trustpoint. Available options include:

tftp

ftp

sftp

http

cf

usb1

usb2

Port

If using Advanced settings, use the spinner control to set the port. This option is not valid
for cf, usb1, and usb2.

IP Address

If using Advanced settings, enter IP address of the server used to export the trustpoint.
This option is not valid for cf, usb1, and usb2.

Host

If using Advanced settings, provide the hostname of the server used to export the
trustpoint. This option is not valid for cf, usb1, and usb2.

Username/Password

These fields are enabled if using ftp or sftp protocols,. Specify the username and the
password for that username to access the remote servers using these protocols.

Path/File

If using Advanced settings, specify the path to the trustpoint. Enter the complete relative
path to the file on the server.
