Exporting server certificates
If you enable mutual authentication for clients or mutual authentication for indications, you can
export the corresponding SMI-A server certificate to a file so the client can add the certificate to its
TrustStore. This certificate will be used for authentication if mutual authentication is enabled.
If mutual authentication is enabled and if you do not export the SMI Agent server certificate, then
the client keystore, truststore, and server certificates will be used for authentication.
You must have Administrator privileges (Windows) or root/admin privileges (Linux, Solaris, and AIX)
to export server certificates. This option is disabled if you do not have the appropriate privilege.
1. Launch the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool.
2. Click Export in the menu tree (see Figure 13).
