Defaults None.
Access Enabled.
Usage To use this command, you must already have generated a certificate
request with the crypto generate request command, sent the request to the
certificate authority, and obtained a signed copy of the UNIVERGE WL
Controller certificate as a PKCS #7 object file. Then do the following:
1 Open the PKCS #7 object file with an ASCII text editor such as Notepad or
vi.
2 Enter the crypto certificate command on the CLI command line.
3 When UNIVERGE WL Control System prompts you for the PEM-formatted
certificate, paste the PKCS #7 object file onto the command line.
The UNIVERGE WL Controller verifies the validity of the public key associated
with this certificate before installing it, to prevent a mismatch between the
UNIVERGE WL Controller’s private key and the public key in the installed
certificate.
Examples The following command installs a certificate:
PROMPT# crypto certificate admin
