peer-certificate-type
Syntax
peer-certificate-type (pkcs7 | x509-signature);
Description
(MX Series routers only) Specify a preferred type of certificate (PKCS7 or X509). By default, X509 encoding format is used. With the flexibility to configure the encoding format in which certificate requests are sent to the peer, you can determine the type of certificate to be used depending on the type supported by the peer. For example, if the peer does not support PKCS7, certificate authentication cannot occur unless you configure the same type on MX Series routers as the initiator or sender.
