Setting Up Aurorean Services

Generating Private/Public Keys

A unique El Gamal private/public key pair is produced on all APSs. In most cases, these keys do not need to change. However, if you believe the keys have been compromised and your network security is subject to risk, you can generate a new El Gamal private/public key pair by performing the following steps:

NOTE

When you regenerate the El Gamal private/public keys, Aurorean users who employ IPSec protocol cannot tunnel into the corporate network until a set of core files containing the new public key are distributed. To build core files that contain the new key, refer to the instructions in Chapter 6.

1 Open the Configuration pullout.

2Click on the Activity icon in the lower left corner of the pullout to switch to the Active Tunnel/Service List view.

3Expand the tree list under Active Service List (click the + symbol).

4Click on Enterasys Authentication.

The Service Control display for the Authentication Service appears as shown in Figure 49.
