		(EAP) certificate, which authenticates the WSS to 802.1X supplicants
		(clients).

		authenticates the WSS to clients who use Web-based AAA.

Usage To use this command, you must already have generated a certificate request with the crypto generate request command, sent the request to the certificate authority, and obtained a signed copy of the WSS certificate as a PKCS #7 object file. Then do the following:

1Open the PKCS #7 object file with an ASCII text editor such as Notepad or vi.

2Enter the crypto certificate command on the CLI command line.

3When WSS Software prompts you for the PEM-formatted certificate, paste the PKCS #7 object file onto the command line.

The WSS verifies the validity of the public key associated with this certificate before installing it, to prevent a mismatch between the WSS’s private key and the public key in the installed certificate.

Examples The following command installs a certificate:

WSS# crypto certificate admin

Enter PEM-encoded certificate
