Displaying or saving a certificate and key using the SREM

You can display the current certificate and private key and then save copies as backup or for export to another device.

When you display the certificate and private key, you have the option to protect it with a password phrase. Nortel recommends adding a password phrase, because this adds an extra layer of security.

Save the certificate and private key by copying and pasting into a text editor, then saving the text file with a .PEM extension.
