Configuring Pki Certificate Verification - 3Com 4500G Family Configuration Manual

Prepare for certificate verification.
Before retrieving a local certificate in online mode, be sure to complete LDAP server configuration.
Follow these steps to retrieve a certificate manually:
To do...
Enter system view
Retrieve a
certificate
manually
If a PKI domain already has a CA certificate, you cannot retrieve another CA certificate for it. This is
in order to avoid inconsistency between the certificate and registration information due to related
configuration changes. To retrieve a new CA certificate, use the pki delete-certificate command
to delete the existing CA certificate and local certificate first.
The pki retrieval-certificate configuration will not be saved in the configuration file.
Be sure that the device system time falls in the validity period of the certificate so that the certificate
is valid.

Configuring PKI Certificate Verification

A certificate needs to be verified before being used. Verifying a certificate is to check that the certificate
is signed by the CA and that the certificate has neither expired nor been revoked.
Before verifying a certificate, you need to retrieve the CA certificate.
You can specify whether CRL checking is required in certificate verification. If you enable CRL checking,
CRLs will be used in verification of a certificate.
