Configuring SSL on a Brocade Virtual ADX
6
After transferring the file, it can be used both as a key and a certificate. To add the certificate file
and keys to the profile, use the following commands:
Virtual ADX(config-ssl-profile-mysslprofile)#keypair-file mypkcsfile
Virtual ADX(config-ssl-profile-mysslprofile)#certificate-file mypkcsfile
The show ssl cert command can be used to display a pkcs file. The show ssl key command does not
display a pkcs file, but it does contain a keypair.
Creating a master password for export of SSL keys
You can create a master password that grants permission to export all SSL keys on a Brocade
Virtual ADX using SCP copy. This password is used with the scp key-pair-file-name
user@SI_IP_Addr: sslkeypair:filename-on-SI:password: format command. If a master password is
not configured, a separate password associated with each key must be used.
To define a master password for the export of SSL keys, use the following command.
Virtual ADX#ssl set export-master-pswd exportpw
Syntax: ssl set export-master-pswd password
The password variable specifies the master password for export of SSL keys. It can be from 1 to 24
characters in length.
To disable a master password for export of SSL keys, use the following command.
Virtual ADX#ssl clear export-master-pswd exportpw
Syntax: ssl clear export-master-pswd password
The password variable specifies the master password for export of SSL keys that you want to
remove.
Use the following command to display whether a master password is in effect.
Syntax: show ssl key *
Deleting certificate and key files
You can use the following commands to delete a specified certificate or key file as shown.
Virtual ADX#ssl clear certfile certfile-name
Syntax: ssl clear certfile certfile-name
The certfile-name variable specifies the certificate that you want to delete.
Virtual ADX#ssl clear keyfile keyfile-name
Syntax: ssl clear certfile keyfile-name
The keyfile-name variable specifies the key that you want to delete.
Virtual ADX#show ssl key *
