Cryptography Commands
486
Defaults None.
Access Enabled.
Usage You can overwrite a key by generating another key of the same type.
SSH requires an SSH authentication key, but you can allow UNIVERGE WL
Control System to generate it automatically. The first time an SSH client attempts
to access the SSH server on a UNIVERGE WL Controller, the UNIVERGE WL
Controller automatically generates a 1024-byte SSH key. If you want to use a
2048-byte key instead, use the crypto generate key ssh 2048 command to
generate one.
Examples To generate an administrative key for use with UNIVERGE WLMS,
type the following command:
UNIVERGE WL Controller# crypto generate key admin 1024
key pair generated
See Also show crypto key ssh on page 497
crypto generate request
Generates a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This command outputs a
PEM-formatted PKCS #10 text string that you can cut and paste to another
location for delivery to a certificate authority.
This command generates either an administrative CSR for use with UNIVERGE
WLMS and WebView, or an EAP CSR for use with 802.1X clients.
web Generates an administrative key pair for authenticating
the UNIVERGE WL Controller to Web Authentication
clients.

Length of the key pair in bits.
Note: The minimum key length for SSH is 1024. The
length 128 applies only to domain and is the only valid
option for it.
