PEM-formatted-certificateASCII text representation of the certificate authority PKCS#7 certificate, consisting of up to 5120 characters that you have obtained from the certificate authority.

Defaults: None.

Access: Enabled.

Usage: The Privacy-Enhanced Mail protocol (PEM) format is used for representing a PKCS#7 certificate in ASCII text. PEM uses base64 encoding to convert the certificate to ASCII text, then puts the encoded text between the following delimiters:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

To use this command, you must already have obtained a copy of the certificate authority’s 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 orvi.

2.Enter the crypto ca-certificatecommand 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.
