Importing
Certificates
into the

SA8220

The recommended method for importing an existing certificate is to
copy the certificate (a block of ASCII text) from your certificate
server console window, then paste it into the SA8220’s console
window when prompted.

For more details about copying and pasting, please see “Copying and
Pasting Keys and Certificates” in this appendix.

NOTE: Do not interrupt
the import process. If you
do interrupt the process,
delete the certificate and
start again.

To paste in a certificate:

1. Type the

import

command and press .

The CLI prompts you to paste in the certificate.

2. When finished, type three periods (“...”) on a separate line, then

press .

3. When the procedure is complete, you can type

info

at the

prompt to verify the certificate's transfer to the SA8220.

An alternative method for importing an existing certificate is to ftp
the certificate, as shown below:

config policygroup service key

certificate import [ user

password ]

where

url

is a valid URL identifying the certificate file to download.

(It must be in the form

ftp:///

),

user

is

the username, and

password

is the password.
