Nortel Networks 4050 manual Cfg/cert #/import, Certificate and key import information

Chapter 11 Managing certificates 589

To import a certificate and private key into the Nortel SNAS 4050, perform the following steps.

1Upload the certificate file and key file to the file exchange server.

Note: You can arrange to include your private key in the certificate file. When the Nortel SNAS 4050 retrieves the specified certificate file from the file exchange server, the Nortel SNAS 4050 software analyzes the contents and automatically adds the private key, if present.

2Access the Certificate menu by using the /cfg/cert <cert id> command, where <cert id> is the certificate number.

To install a new certificate, specify an unused certificate number. To replace an installed certificate, specify the installed certificate index number.

To view basic information about all configured certificates, use the /info/ certs command. To verify that the current certificate number is not in use by an installed certificate, use the /cfg/cert #/show command.

3Import the certificate. Enter the following command:

/cfg/cert #/import

You are prompted to enter the certificate and private key import information. If the private key has been password protected, you are prompted for the correct password phrase as well. Table 122 explains the required parameters.
