Parameter

Description

 

 

 

 

Export format

The key and certificate format in which you want to

 

 

export the key and certificate. Valid options are:

 

 

PEM

 

 

DER

 

 

NET

 

 

• PKCS12 (also known as PFX)

 

 

The PEM and PKCS12 formats always combine the

 

 

private key and certificate in the same file.

 

 

Nortel recommends using the PKCS12 format. Most

 

 

web browsers accept importing a combined key and

 

 

certificate file in the PKCS12 format.

 

 

The formats have different capabilities regarding

 

 

private key encryption and the ability to save the key

 

 

and certificate in separate files. For more information

 

 

about the formats, see “Key and certificate formats” on

 

 

page 571.

 

 

 

 

Export pass phrase

The password phrase to encrypt the private key.

 

 

 

 

Reconfirm export pass phrase

Re-enter the password phrase for confirmation.

 

 

 

 

Key and certificate file name

The name of the file on the file exchange server. If you

 

 

are using a format that saves the private key and

 

 

certificate in the same file, you are prompted for the

 

 

combined file name. If you are using a format that

 

 

saves the private key and certificate in separate files,

 

 

you are prompted separately for the key file name and

 

 

the certificate file name.

 

 

 

 

[FTP user name and password]

For FTP, SCP, and SFTP, the user name and password

 

 

to access the file exchange server. The default is

 

 

anonymous.
