PKI AUTHENTICATE
crypto pki authenticate
Overview Use this command to authenticate a trustpoint by generating or importing the
root CA certificate. This must be done before the server can be enrolled to the
trustpoint.
Syntax
crypto pki authenticate <trustpoint>
Mode Privileged Exec
Usage If the trustpoint’s enrollment setting is “selfsigned”, then this command causes a
private key to be generated for the root CA, and a self-signed certificate to be
generated based on that key.
If the trustpoint’s enrollment setting is “terminal”, then this command prompts
the user to paste a certificate Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) file at the CLI terminal.
If the certificate is a valid selfsigned CA certificate, then it will be stored as the
trustpoint’s root CA certificate.
The specified trustpoint must already exist, and its enrollment mode must have
been defined.
Example To show the enrollment setting of a trustpoint named “example” and then
generate a certificate from it, use the commands:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# crypto pki trustpoint example
awplus(ca-trustpoint)# enrollment selfsigned
awplus(config)# exit
awplus# exit
awplus# crypto pki authenticate example
