Displaying Certificate and Key Information
To display information about certificates installed on an WSS switch, use the following commands:
show crypto ca-certificate {admin | eap | webaaa}
show crypto certificate {admin | eap | webaaa}
For example, to display information about an administrative certificate, type the following command:
23x0# show crypto certificate admin
Certificate:
Version: 3
Serial Number: 999 (0x3e7)
Subject: C=US, ST=CA, L=PLEAS, O=NORTEL, OU=SQA, CN=BOBADMIN/
emailAddress=BOBADMIN, unstructuredName=BOB
Signature Algorithm: md5WithRSAEncryption
Issuer: C=US, ST=CA, L=PLEAS, O=NORTEL, OU=SQA, CN=BOBADMIN/
emailAddress=BOBADMIN, unstructuredName=BOB
Validity:
Not Before: Oct 19 01:57:13 2004 GMT
Not After : Oct 19 01:57:13 2005 GMT
The last two rows of the display indicate the period for which the certificate is valid. Make sure the date and time set on
the switch are within the date and time range of the certificate.
Key and Certificate Configuration Scenarios
The first scenario shows how to generate self-signed certificates. The second scenario shows how to install CA-signed
certificates using PKCS #12 object files, and the third scenario shows how to install CA-signed certificates using CSRs
(PKCS #10 object files) and PKCS #7 object files.
