Generating a Certificate Signing Request
Assigning Certificates
Certificate Name Enter the 32 character maximum name assigned to identify the name of the
trustpoint associated with the certificate. 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.
RSA Key Select a radio button and use the drop-down menu to set the key used by both the
controller or service platform and the server (or repository) of the target RSA key.
Optionally select Create New and enter a 32 character name used to identify the
RSA key. Use the spinner control to set the size of the key (from 1,024 - 2,048 bits).
Brocade recommends leaving this value at the default setting of 1024 to ensure
optimum functionality.
Certificate Subject
Name Select either auto-generate to automatically create the certificate's subject
credentials or user-defined to manually enter the credentials of the self signed
certificate. The default setting is auto-generate.

other values. This is a required field and must not exceed 2 characters.

absoluteness, since a suffix is not added.
