Command Reference Guide

SROS Command Line Interface Reference Guide CA Profile Configuration Command Set

password <password>

Use the password command to specify the challenge password for SCEP (simple certificate exchange

protocol). Use the no form of this command to allow CA requests to be sent automatically (using SCEP)

without requiring a password.

Syntax Description

<password> Enter the SCEP password (up to 80 characters).

Default Values

By default, no password is required.

Command Modes

(ca-profile)# CA Profile Configuration

Functional Notes

There are two places for configuring a SCEP password:

• At the (ca-profile)# prompt.

• If it is not configured at the (ca-profile)# prompt, you are prompted to enter one when going through the

certificate enrollment process.

The password is sent to the CA from which you are requesting a certificate. The CA may then ask for the

password later before a certificate can be revoked. See

crypto ca enroll <name> on page 217.

Usage Examples

The following example sets the SCEP challenge password to procurve:

(ca-profile)#password procurve
