Remarks
Do not configure this command
when you request a certificate in
offline mode.
By default, the switch polls the CA
server for the certificate request
status every 20 minutes. The
maximum number of polling
attempts is 50.
This task is required only when
the CRL repository is an LDAP
server and the URL of the CRL
repository does not contain the
host name of the LDAP server.
By default, no LDAP server is
specified.
Before a PKI entity can enroll with
a CA, it must authenticate the CA
by obtaining the self-signed
certificate of the CA and verifying
the fingerprint of the CA
certificate.
If a fingerprint is not entered in the
PKI domain, and if the CA
certificate is imported or obtained
through manual certificate
request, you must verify the
fingerprint that is displayed during
authentication of the CA
certificate.
If the CA certificate is obtained
through automatic certificate
request, the certificate will be
rejected if a fingerprint has not
been entered.
By default, no fingerprint is
specified.
By default, no key pair is
specified.
If the specified key pair does not
exist, the PKI entity automatically
creates the key pair before
submitting a certificate request.
For information about creating key
pairs, see "Managing public keys."
By default, the certificate can be
used by all applications, including
IKE, SSL clients, and SSL server.
The extension options contained
in an issued certificate depend on
