Description

 

 

Protocol

The file import protocol. The options are TFTP, FTP,

 

SCP, SFTP. The default is FTP.

 

 

Host

The host name or IP address of the file exchange

 

server.

 

 

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.

 

 

Certificate File

The name of the certificate file on the file exchange

 

server.

 

 

Key File

The name of the key file on the file exchange server.

 

If you are using a format that saves the private key and

 

certificate in the same file, this field is not needed.

 

 

Username

For FTP, SCP, and SFTP, the user name to access the

 

file exchange server.

 

For anonymous mode, the username is anonymous.

 

 

Password

For FTP, SCP, and SFTP, the password to access the

 

file exchange server.

 

For anonymous mode, the Nortel SNAS 4050 uses the

 

following string as the password (for logging purposes):
