You can use 3WXM to distribute PKCS #12 files to one or more WX
switches. After you select the file to distribute, you must enter the
PKCS #12 password that was used to generate the certificate. You must
also select whether the file is to be installed for administrative, 802.1X, or
Web AAA purposes. You can then download the PKCS #12 file to the WX
switches. The password allows the public-private key pair and the
certificate to be installed together from the same file. The password is
removed after the PKCS #12 file is installed.
Although you can distribute one PKCS #12 file to many WX switches, as a
best practice, you should install a unique certificate and key pair per WX.
1 Select Changes > Distribute Certificates. The Distribute PKCS12
Certificate Files dialog box appears.
2 In the Mobility Domain Selection list, select a Mobility Domain.
3 Select the WX or WX switches you want to distribute the PKCS #12 file
to.
4 To select a file to distribute, click Select PKCS12 File.
5 In the PKCS12 Password box, type the one-time password used to
authenticate the PKCS12 file. The following characters cannot be used as
part of the one-time password of a PKCS #12 file: quotation marks (" "),
question mark (?), ampersand (&).
