SSL certificates
The Brocade Virtual ADX allows you to upload existing certificates, generate certificate signing
requests and self-signed certificates.
Generating Certificate Signing Requests
You can generate a Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) and have it signed by a known Certificate
Authority (CA) to create a certificate and then import it. Before generating a CA signed certificate,
you must obtain an RSA key pair. For more information on obtaining an RSA key pair, refer to
“Generating private keys”.
