Generate Temporary Certificate
The following procedure describes how to generate a new temporary certificate for the CAM. Any time
you change basic configuration settings on the CAM (date, time, associated DNS server, etc.) you should
generate a new temporary certificate.
Caution If you are using FIPS 140-2 compliant appliances, be sure you have your current trusted-CA certificate
and Private Key stored on an external machine so you can restore them following this procedure.
If you are using a CA-signed certificate on a non-FIPS appliance, Cisco recommends backing up the
Private Key for the current certificate prior to generating any new certificate, as generating a new
certificate also generates a new Private Key. See Generate and Export a Certification Request (Non-FIPS
CAM Only), page 14-12 for more information.
Step 1 Go to Administration > CCA Manager > SSL > X509 Certificate.
