396 CHAPTER 13: CRYPTOGRAPHY COMMANDS
PEM-formatted certificate — ASCII text representation of the
PKCS #7 certificate, consisting of up to 4096 characters, that you
have obtained from the certificate authority.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — To use this command, you must already have generated a
certificate request with the crypto generate request command, sent
the request to the certificate authority, and obtained a signed copy of the
WX switch certificate as a PKCS #7 object file. Then do the following:
1 Open the PKCS #7 object file with an ASCII text editor such as Notepad
or vi.
2 Enter the crypto certificate command on the CLI command line.
3 When MSS prompts you for the PEM-formatted certificate, paste the
PKCS #7 object file onto the command line.
The WX switch verifies the validity of the public key associated with this
certificate before installing it, to prevent a mismatch between the WX
switch’s private key and the public key in the installed certificate.
Examples — The following command installs a certificate:
WX4400# crypto certificate admin
Enter PEM-encoded certificate
