Example of installing a switch certificate
switch:admin> seccertutil import -config swcert -enable https
Select protocol [ftp or scp]: ftp
Enter IP address: 192.10.11.12
Enter remote directory: path_to_remote_directory
Enter certificate name (must have ".crt", ".cer", \
".pem" or “.psk” suffix): 192.1.2.3.crt
Enter Login Name: your_account
Enter Password: *****
Success: imported certificate [192.1.2.3.crt].
Important Notes
• Certificate Authorities may provide their certificates in different encodings and different
extensions. Be sure to save the certificate with the applicable file extension before you import
the certificate to the switch:
For example, certificates that contain lines similar to the following are usually .pem encoded:
“----BEGIN REQUEST----” and “----END REQUEST---- (and may include the
strings "x509" or "certificate")
• For Certificate Authorities that request information regarding the type of web server, FOS uses
the Apache web server running on Linux.
