caphrase
Sets the certificate administrator’s passphrase for
encrypted private keys in a configuration backup, if the
certificate administrator role has been separated from
the administrator role.
If the admin user is a member of the certadmin group
(the default setting), the admin user is prompted for
an export passphrase to protect the private keys in
the configuration dump each time the /cfg/ptcfg
command is used.
Set a certificate administrator export passphrase
only if the admin user has removed himself or herself
from the certadmin group and added a certificate
administrator user with certadmin group rights.
When a configuration backup is performed using
the /cfg/ptcfg command, the certadmin export
passphrase is automatically used (without prompting
the user) to protect the encrypted private keys. When
the /cfg/gtcfg command is used to restore a
configuration backup from a file exchange server, the
user is prompted for the correct certadmin passphrase,
as defined using the caphrase command.
