The ASA prompts you to paste the base-64

 

 

formatted signed certificate onto the terminal.

 

 

 

Step 9

hostname(config)# crypto ca authenticate trustpoint

Authenticates the third-party identity certificate

 

Example:

received from the CA. The identity certificate is

 

hostname(config)# crypto ca authenticate remote-ent
