Chapter: PKI Certificate Authority Configuration Mode Commands
PKI Certificate Authority Configuration Mode Commands
To configure public key infrastructure (PKI) encryption certificate authorities on a WAAS device, use the crypto pki ca global configuration command. To delete a PKI encryption certificate authority, use the no form of the command.
crypto pki ca certificate_authority_name
no crypto pki ca certificate_authority_name
Syntax Description
certificate_authority_name |
The name of the certificate authority (CA). The CA name may contain up to 64 characters. |
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
Use the command to add and configure a certificate authority. This command initiates the certificate authority configuration mode, indicated by the (config-ca) prompt.
Within certificate authority configuration mode, you can use the various commands (ca-certificate, description, revocation check, and so on) to define an encryption certificate authority. To return to global configuration mode, enter exit at the certificate authority configuration mode prompt.
Examples
The following example shows how to create or edit a certificate authority named mycertauth. If the certificate authority is already established on the WAAS device, the crypto pki ca command edits it. If the certificate authority does not exist, the crypto pki ca command creates it.
WAE(config)# crypto pki ca mycertauth
WAE(config-ca)# description This-is-my-CA-description
WAE(config-ca)# exit
WAE(config)#
Related Commands
(config-ca) ca-certificate
To set the certification authority file to be used by the WAAS device, use the ca-certificate certification authority configuration command.
ca-certificate filename.ca
Syntax Description
filename.ca |
The filename of the certificate authority. The filename must end in .ca and be no longer than 32 characters. |
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
certification authority configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
Before you can assign a certification authority file using the ca-certificate command, the certification authority file must be imported using the crypto import ca-certificate EXEC command. See the crypto import command.
Examples
The following example shows how to specify the certification authority file to use:
WAE(config)# crypto pki ca mycertauth
WAE(config-ca)# ca-certificate mycafile.ca
Related Commands
(config-ca) description
To enter a description for the certification authority to be used by the WAAS device, use the description command.
description description-text
Syntax Description
description-text |
Test to briefly describe the certification authority being used. The description text cannot contain spaces and must not exceed 256 characters. |
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
certification authority configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Examples
The following example shows how to define the descriptive text for the certification authority:
WAE(config)# crypto pki ca mycertauth
WAE(config-ca)# description This-is-my-CA-description
Related Commands
(config-ca) revocation-check
To configure the certification authority revocation checking method, use the revocation-check command.
revocation-check {none | ocsp-cert-url | ocsp-url} [none | ocsp-cert-url | ocsp-url]
Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
certification authority configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Examples
The following example shows how to configure certification authority revocation checking to use the URL defined in the global OCSP settings:
WAE(config)# crypto pki ca mycertauth
WAE(config-ca)# revocation-check ocsp-url
The following example shows how to configure revocation checking to use the URL defined in the global OCSP settings as the first method, and to use no checking as the second method:
WAE(config)# crypto pki ca mycertauth
WAE(config-ca)# revocation-check ocsp-url none
