Configuring the Certificate Authority Properties

A CA is a trusted third-party organization that creates, enrolls, validates, and revokes digital certificates.

To configure a certificate authority and its properties for an ES PIC, include the following statements at the [edit security certificates] hierarchy level:



[edit security certificates]

certification-authority ca-profile-name {

ca-name ca-identity; 

crl filename;

encoding (binary | pem);

enrollment-url url-name;

file certificate-filename;

ldap-url url-name;
}

ca-profile-name is the CA profile name.
