Chapter 1 Configuring Digital Certificates
Purpose
Enters local ca server configuration mode. Allows
you to configure and manage a local CA.
Specifies the location of mydata, the premounted
CIFS file system to be used for the local CA server
database. Establishes a path to the server and then
specifies the local CA file or folder name to use for
storage and retrieval. To return local CA file storage
to the ASA flash memory, use the no database path
command.
Note
To secure stored local CA files on an external
server requires a premounted file system of
file type CIFS or FTP that is
username-protected and password-protected.
Saves the running configuration.
For external local CA file storage, each time that you
save the ASA configuration, user information is
saved from the ASA to the premounted file system
and file location, mydata:newuser.
For flash memory storage, user information is saved
automatically to the default location for the start-up
configuration.
