Nortel Secure Network Access Switch 4050 User Guide

Creating certificates

The basic steps to create a new certificate are:

1 Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) (see “Generating and

submitting a CSR using the CLI” on page 579 or “Generating and submitting

a CSR using the SREM” on page 601).

2 Send the CSR to a Certificate Authority (CA), such as Entrust or VeriSign, for

certification (see “Generating and submitting a CSR using the CLI” on

page 579 or “Generating and submitting a CSR using the SREM” on

page 601).

3 Install the signed certificate on the Nortel SNAS 4050 cluster (see “Installing

certificates and keys” on page 573).

4 Map the installed certificate to the Nortel SNAS 4050 portal server (see

“Configuring SSL settings using the CLI” on page 139 or “Configuring SSL

settings using the SREM” on page 176).

Installing certificates and keys

There are two ways to install a certificate and key in the Nortel SNAS 4050

cluster:

• by pasting (see “Adding a certificate to the Nortel SNAS 4050 using the CLI”

on page 584)

• by importing from a TFTP/FTP/SCP/SFTP server (see “Importing certificates

and keys into the Nortel SNAS 4050 using the CLI” on page 588 or

“Importing a certificate or key using the SREM” on page 603)

When you generate the CSR, the private key is created and stored in encrypted

form on the Nortel SNAS 4050 using the specified certificate number. After you

receive the certificate, which contains the corresponding public key, use the same

certificate number when you add the certificate to the Nortel SNAS 4050.

Otherwise, the private key and the public key in the certificate will not match.

If you do not generate a CSR but obtain the certificate by other means, you must

take additional steps to add a private key that corresponds to the public key of the

certificate (see “Adding a private key to the Nortel SNAS 4050 using the CLI” on

page 587).
