how to import the signed certificate received from the CA into the controller. After importing the signed
certificate into the controller, use the web-server profile command to specify the certificate for captive portal
or WebUI access. If you need to specify a different certificate for captive portal or WebUI access, use the no
command to revert back to the default certificate before you specify the new certificate (see the Example
section).
You can use client certificates to authenticate management users. If you specify certificate authentication, you
need to configure certificate authentication for the management user with the mgmt-user webui-cacert
command.
Example
The following commands configure WebUI access with client certificates only, and specify the server certificate
for the controller:
(host) (config) #web-server profile
(host) (Web Server Configuration) #mgmt-auth certificate
(host) (Web Server Configuration) #switch-cert ServerCert1
(host) (Web Server Configuration) #!
(host) (config) #mgmt-user webui-cacert test_string serial 1111 admin root
To specify a different server certificate, use the no command to revert back to the default certificate before you
specify the new certificate:
(host) (config) #web-server profile
(host) (Web Server Configuration) #mgmt-auth certificate
(host) (Web Server Configuration) #switch-cert ServerCert1
(host) (Web Server Configuration) #no switch-cert
(host) (Web Server Configuration) #switch-cert ServerCert2
