Importing the FCAP switch certificate

The CA certificates must be installed prior to installing the switch certificate.

chassis role and having OM permissions for the PKI RBAC class of commands.
2. Enter the secCertUtil import -fcapswcert command.

Starting FCAP authentication
1. Log in to the switch using an account with admin permissions, or an account with OM permissions
for the Authentication RBAC class of commands.
2. Enter the authUtil --authinit command to start the authentication using the newly imported
certificates. (This command is not supported in Access Gateway mode.)
3. Enter the authUtil --policy -sw command with either the active or on option.
authutil --policy -sw active
This makes the changes permanent and forces the switch to request authentication. (For Access
Gateway mode, the defaults for sw policy and dev policy are off, and there is no passive option for
sw policy.)
NOTE
This authentication-policy change does not affect online EX_Ports.
Fabric-wide distribution of the authorization policy
The AUTH policy can be manually distributed to the fabric by command; there is no support for
automatic distribution. To distribute the AUTH policy, see
Distributing the local ACL policies
240 for instructions.
