Step Command

2.

Retrieve a certificate
manually.

In online mode:
pki retrieval-certificate { ca | local } domain

domain-name

In offline mode:

pki import-certificate { ca | local } domain

domain-name { der | p12 | pem } [ filename

filename ]

Use either command.

NOTE:

If a PKI domain already has a CA certificate, you cannot retrieve another CA certificate for it. This
restriction helps avoid inconsistency between the certificate and registration information resulted from

configuration changes. To retrieve a new CA certificate, use the pki delete-certificate command to

delete the existing CA certificate and the local certificate first.

The pki retrieval-certificate configuration is not saved in the configuration file.

Be sure that the device system time falls in the validity period of the certificate so that the certificate is
valid.

Configuring PKI certificate verification

A certificate must be verified before being used. Verifying a certificate is to check whether the certificate

is signed by the CA and whether the certificate has not expired or been revoked.
You can specify whether CRL checking is required in certificate verification. If you enable CRL checking,

CRLs are used in verification of a certificate. In this case, be sure to retrieve the CA certificate and CRLs
to the local device before the certificate verification. If you disable CRL checking, you only need to

retrieve the CA certificate.
