Managing the keys
If you have already enabled Secure UNIStim and generated keys using the
wizard in Procedure 6 on
page 82 , the keys are already generated and you do
not need to perform the Procedure 40 and Procedure 41.
Before you enable UNIStim security, generate a private key and store it on
the SMC. This key, which has a public key associated with it, is used during
the security handshake.
For more information about Secure UNIStim keys, see “Key management”
on
page 41
Procedure 40
Generating or importing the private key
Using the Web UI, you can generate private keys on the SMC device or import
private keys. The SMC supports 1024-bit RSA keys. Import of the key is
facilitated by the use of PEM encoding, which includes encryption of the key.

1 Navigate to the Multimedia Security > UNIStim Security > Private
Keys > Generate/Set Private Key page.
2 Choose one of the following:
• Click Generate .
• Click Import and enter the password if prompted.

admin, or any other password.
End of Procedure
IMPORTANT!
If you have already enabled Secure UNIStim and generated keys using
