Creating server certificates
Use the Server Certificates screen to view existing self-signed certificate values. The values
displayed are read-only. The Server Certificates screen also allows an administrator to:
• create a certificate request
• send it to a Certificate Authority (CA)
• create a self signed certificate
• upload an external certificate
• delete a server certificate and/or root certificate of a trustpoint
• create a new key
• upload/download keys to and from the switch to and from a server or local disk
• delete all the keys in the switch.
Server certificates are issued to Web Servers and used to authenticate Web Servers to browsers
while establishing a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection.
The Server Certificates screen displays two tabs supporting the following:
• Using trustpoints to configure certificates
• Configuring trustpoint associated keys
Using trustpoints to configure certificates
Each certificate is digitally signed by a trustpoint. The trustpoint signing the certificate can be a
certificate authority, corporation or individual. A trustpoint represents a CA/identity pair containing
the identity of the CA, CA-specific configuration parameters, and an association with an enrolled
identity certificate.
