sslcsrgen

Description

Generates and downloads a CSR file to the client’s local file system. The CSR can be used for creating a custom SSL certificate that can be used for SSL transactions on CMC.

To use this subcommand, you must have the Chassis Configuration Administrator• permission.

Synopsis

  • racadm sslcsrgen [-g] [-f < filename>]
  • racadm sslcsrgen -s

Input

  • -g — Generates a new CSR.
  • -s — Returns the status of a CSR generation process (generation in progress, active, or none).
  • -f — Specifies the filename of the location, < filename>, where the CSR is downloaded.
  • NOTE: If the -f option is not specified, the filename defaults to sslcsr in your current directory.

Output

If no options are specified, a CSR is generated and downloaded to the local file system as sslcsr by default. The -g option cannot be used with the -s option, and the -f option can only be used with the -g option.

The sslcsrgen -s subcommand returns one of the following status codes:

  • CSR was generated successfully.
  • CSR does not exist.

Example 

racadm sslcsrgen -s
or
racadm sslcsrgen -g -f c:\csr\csrtest.txt
  • NOTE: Before a CSR can be generated, the CSR fields must be configured in the RACADM cfgRacSecurity group. For example: racadm config -g cfgRacSecurity -o cfgRacSecCsrCommonName MyCompany
  • NOTE: In telnet/ssh console, you can only generate and not download the CSR file.
  • NOTE: The duration for generating a CSR key depends on the length specified for the key.
