Description Use this command to manage certificates for FCAP authentication on a switch.
FCAP requires the exchange of certificates between two or more switches to authenticate each
other before they are allowed to join fabric. FCAP certificates can be issued by Brocade or any third
party CA.
Use this command to add, remove, or display the switches in the certificate database. When
adding switches, you can specify the type of certificate to be used in the authentication. Brocade
and third Party certificates are supported.
Fabric OS supports two authentication protocols, DHCHAP and FCAP. By default, FCAP is the default
switch authentication protocol. Use the authUtil command to configure the authentication protocol.
Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
