Setting the certificate export passphrase using the SREM

You can set a certificate administrator's passphrase for encrypted private keys in a
configuration backup, if the certificate administrator role has been separated from
the administrator role.
If the admin user is a member of the certadmin group (the default setting), the
admin user must provide an export passphrase to protect the private keys in the
configuration dump each time the configuration is backed up to an external file
server.
Set a certificate administrator export passphrase only if the admin user has
removed himself or herself from the certadmin group and added a certificate
administrator user with certadmin group rights. When a configuration backup is
performed, the certificate export passphrase is automatically used to protect the
encrypted private keys. When the configuration is restored from the file exchange
server, the user is prompted for the correct certificate export passphrase.
