Generating Self-Signed Certificates

After creating a public-private key pair, you can generate a self-signed certificate. To generate a self-signed certificate, use the following command:

crypto generate self-signed {admin eap webaaa}

When you type the command, the CLI Prompts you to enter information to identify the certificate. For example:

23x0# crypto generate self-signed admin Country Name: US

State Name: CA

Locality Name: San Jose campus

Organizational Name: nortel

Organizational Unit: eng

Common Name: WSS1

Email Address: admin@example.com

Unstructured Name: WSS in wiring closet 120

You must include a common name (string) when you generate a self-signed certificate. The other information is optional. Use a fully qualified name if such names are supported on your network. The certificate appears after you enter this information.
