Command History
Usage Guidelines For use in TrustSec Network Device Admission Control (NDAC) authentication, the cts credentials
command specifies the Cisco TrustSec device ID and password for this switch to use when
authenticating with other Cisco TrustSec devices with EAP-FAST. The CTS credentials state retrieval is
not performed by the nonvolatile generation process (NVGEN) because the CTS credential information
is saved in the keystore, not in the startup-config. The device can be assigned a CTS identity by the Cisco
Secure Access Control Server (ACS), or auto-generate a new password when prompted to do so by the
ACS. Those credentials are stored in the keystore, eliminating the need to save the running-config. To
display the CTS device ID, use the show cts credentials command. The stored password is never
displayed.
To change the device ID or the password, reenter the command. To clear the keystore, use the clear cts
credentials command.
Note When the CTS device ID is changed, all Protected Access Credentials (PACs) are flushed from the
keystore because the PACs are associated with the old device ID and are not valid for a new identity.
credentials id cts_id Specifies the Cisco TrustSec device ID for this device to use when
authenticating with other Cisco TrustSec devices with EAP-FAST. The cts-id
variable has a maximum length of 32 characters and is case sensitive.
password cts_pwd Specifies the password for this device to use when authenticating with other
Cisco TrustSec devices with EAP-FAST.
