Usage Guidelines
When this command is executed, if the private key is encrypted, the user is prompted to enter the
passphrase that was used to encrypt the private key when the private key was generated. Only DES
and 3DES encryption mechanisms are supported for private key encryption. If the download operation
is successful the existing private key is overwritten.
After the download is successful, a check is performed to find out whether the private key downloaded
matches the public key stored in the certificate. If they do not match, a warning message is displayed
(“Warning: The Private Key does not match with the Public Key in the certificate.”). This warning is a
reminder to the user to download the corresponding certificate.
The certificate and private key file should be in PEM format and generated using RSA as the
cryptography algorithm.
