AUTHENTICATE
crypto pki authenticate
Overview
Use this command to authenticate a trustpoint by generating or importing the
root CA certificate. This must be done before the server can be enrolled to the
trustpoint.
Syntax
crypto pki authenticate <
trustpoint
>
Mode
Privileged Exec
Usage
If the trustpoint’s
enrollment
setting is “selfsigned”, then this command causes a
private key to be generated for the root CA, and a self-signed certificate to be
generated based on that key.
If the trustpoint’s
enrollment
setting is “terminal”, then this command prompts
the user to paste a certificate Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) file at the CLI terminal.
If the certificate is a valid selfsigned CA certificate, then it will be stored as the
trustpoint’s root CA certificate.
The specified trustpoint must already exist, and its enrollment mode must have
been defined.
Example
To show the
enrollment
setting of a trustpoint named “example” and then
generate a certificate from it, use the commands:

awplus#
