ssl rsakey¶
The following operations can be performed on "ssl rsakey":
create ssl rsakey¶
Generates an RSA key.
Synopsys¶
create ssl rsakey <keyFile> <bits> [-exponent ( 3 | F4 )] [-keyform ( DER | PEM )] [-des | -des3] {-password }
Arguments¶
keyFile
Name for and, optionally, path to the RSA key file. /nsconfig/ssl/ is the default path.
Maximum value: 63
bits
Size, in bits, of the RSA key.
Minimum value: 512
Maximum value: 4096
exponent
Public exponent for the RSA key. The exponent is part of the cipher algorithm and is required for creating the RSA key.
Possible values: 3, F4
Default value: FIPSEXP_F4
keyform
Format in which the RSA key file is stored on the appliance.
Possible values: DER, PEM
Default value: FORMAT_PEM
des
Encrypt the generated RSA key by using the DES algorithm. On the command line, you are prompted to enter the pass phrase (password) that is used to encrypt the key.
des3
Encrypt the generated RSA key by using the Triple-DES algorithm. On the command line, you are prompted to enter the pass phrase (password) that is used to encrypt the key.
password
Pass phrase to use for encryption if DES or DES3 option is selected.
Maximum value: 31
Example¶
create ssl rsakey /nsconfig/ssl/rsa1024.pem 1024 -exp F4
