12.1.3 Managing Crypto CMP Certificates

Managing Firmware and Configuration Files
Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) is an Internet protocol to obtain and manage digital certificates in a Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) network. A Certificate Authority (CA) issues the certificates using the defined CMP.
Using CMP, a device can communicate to a CMP supported CA server, initiate a certificate request and download the required
certificates from the CA server. CMP supports multiple request options through for device communicating to a CMP supported
CA server. The device can initiate a request for getting the certificates from the server. It can also auto update the certificates
which are about to expire.
The CMP client on the controller, service platform or access point triggers a request for the configured CMS CA server. Once
the certificate is validated and confirmed from the CA server it is saved on the device and becomes part of the trustpoint. During
the creation of the CMP policy the trustpoint is assigned a name and client information. An administrator can use a manually
created trustpoint for one service (like HTTPs) and use the CMP generated trustpoint for RADIUS EAP certificate based
authentication.
Use the Crypto CMP Certificate menu item to manage these certificates.
