Generating Self-Signed Certificates - Nortel 2360 Configuration Manual

Generating self-signed certificates

After creating a public-private key pair, you can generate a self-signed certificate. To generate a self-signed certificate,
use the following command:
crypto generate self-signed {admin | eap | web}
When you type the command, the CLI prompts you to enter information to identify the certificate. For example:
WSS# crypto generate self-signed admin
Country Name: US
State Name: CA
Locality Name: San Jose campus
Organizational Name: nortel
Organizational Unit: eng
Common Name: WSS1
Email Address: admin@example.com
Unstructured Name: WSS in wiring closet 120
success: self-signed cert for admin generated
You must include a common name (string) when you generate a self-signed certificate. The other information is
optional. Use a fully qualified name if such names are supported on your network. The certificate appears after you enter
this information.
