create ssl dsaKey

Generates a DSA key.

Synopsis

create ssl dsaKey <keyFile> <bits> [-keyform ( DER | PEM )] [-des | -des3 | -aes256] {-password } [-pkcs8]

Arguments

keyFile

Name for and, optionally, path to the DSA key file. /nsconfig/ssl/ is the default path. Maximum value: 63

bits

Size, in bits, of the DSA key. Minimum value: 512 Maximum value: 2048

keyform

Format in which the DSA key file is stored on the appliance.

Possible values: DER, PEM Default value: PEM

des

Encrypt the generated DSA key by using the DES algorithm. On the command line, you are prompted to enter the pass phrase (password) that will be used to encrypt the key.

des3

Encrypt the generated DSA key by using the Triple-DES algorithm. On the command line, you are prompted to enter the pass phrase (password) that will be used to encrypt the key.

aes256

Encrypt the generated DSA key by using the AES algorithm.

password

Pass phrase to use for encryption if DES or DES3 option is selected. Maximum value: 31

pkcs8

Create the private key in PKCS#8 format.

Example

create ssl dsakey /nsconfig/ssl/dsa1024.pem 1024
