Signing the encryption node KAC CSR on KMIP
The KAC certificate signing request generated when the encryption node is initialized must be
exported for each encryption node and signed by the Brocade local CA on KMIP. The signed
certificate must then be imported back into the encryption node.

dialog box (Refer to Figure 185 on page 526).

Certificate, from the menu task bar.
The Export Switch Certificate dialog box displays.
3. Select Public Key Certificate Request (CSR), then click OK.
You are prompted to save the CSR, which can be saved to your SAN Management Program
client PC, or an external host of your choosing.
Alternatively, you may select a switch, then select Switch > Properties. Click the Export button
beside the Public Key Certificate Request, or copy the CSR for pasting into the Certificate
Request Copy area on the ESKM/SKM Sign Certificate Request page.
