Root certificates are used to sign client and server certificates. For each root certificate it
generates, aaa-cert creates a private and a public key. The private key is used to sign other
certificates. The public key is used to verify other (server & client) certificates signed by
the root certificate.
Server certificates are used by 8950 AAA to authenticate itself to remote clients. Server
certificates are signed by a root certificate. In order to sign the server certificate, aaa-cert
needs access to a root certificate and the private key associated with the certificate.
The aaa-cert tool can also be used to generate PKCS #10 Certificate Requests for a server
certificate. This request can then be submitted to a certificate authority which will generate
the server certificate. That functionality is not covered in this document.
Client certificates are used by clients to authenticate themselves to 8950 AAA. Client
certificates are signed by a root certificate. In order to sign the server certificate, aaa-cert
needs access to a root certificate and the private key associated with the certificate.
Important!
For more information about Root, Server, and Client certificates, please
