Security certificate configuration on Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance

Delete old certificates and trustpoints

This procedure describes how to delete the old intermediate and signed certificate, and the trustpoint for the root certificate on Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance.

Before You Begin

Ensure you carried out the configuration tasks described in the following chapters:

Procedure
    Step 1   Enter config mode, type:
    >Enable >password
    >config t
    
    Step 2   Enter this command to display the trustpoints:
    show crypto ca trustpoints
    Step 3   Enter this command to delete the trustpoint and associated certificates:
    no crypto ca trustpoint <name of trustpoint>
    

    The following warning output displays:

    WARNING: Removing an enrolled trustpoint will destroy allcertificates received from the related Certificate Authority.
    
    Step 4   Enter yes when you are prompted to delete the trustpoint.

    What to Do Next

    Generate new trustpoint for VeriSign

    Generate new trustpoint for VeriSign

    Procedure
      Step 1   Enter config mode, type:
      >Enable >password
      >config t
      
      Step 2   Enter this command to generate the key pair for this certification:
      crypto key generate rsa label keys_for_verisign 
      Step 3   Enter the following sequence of commands to create a trustpoint for IM and Presence:
      crypto ca trustpoint <name of trustpoint>
      (config-ca-trustpoint)# enrollment terminal
      (config-ca-trustpoint)# subject-name cn=<fqdn>, OU=<organisational_unit>,O=<organisation_name>,C=<country>,St=<state>,L=<locality>
      (config-ca-trustpoint)# keypair keys_for_verisign
      (config-ca-trustpoint)# fqdn none
      (config-ca-trustpoint)# exit
      
      Note   

      If you are submitting a renewal certificate signing request (CSR) file to VeriSign, the subject-name value must contain the following information:

      • Country (two letter country code only)
      • State (no abbreviations)
      • Locality (no abbreviations)
      • Organization Name
      • Organizational Unit
      • Common Name (FQDN) - This value must be the FQDN of the public IM and Presence.

      Troubleshooting Tips

      Enter the command show crypto key mypubkey rsa to check that the key pair is generated.
