Importing client certificates

If you enable mutual authentication for clients or mutual authentication for indications, you can
import a client certificate into the SMI Agent server truststore. This certificate will be used for
authentication if mutual authentication is enabled.

NOTE

You can import only certificates generated using Java Keytool or OpenSSL.

If mutual authentication is enabled and if you do not provide a security certificate, then the
Brocade-provided client certificate (

client.cer

) will be used to authenticate clients.

You must have Administrator privileges (Windows) or root/admin privileges (Linux, Solaris, and AIX)
to import client certificates. This option is disabled if you do not have the appropriate privilege.

1. Launch the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool.

2. Click Import in the menu tree (see

Figure 12

).
