Creating a custom self-signed Web Server certificate request

Log in to the NDR as npadmin using the NDR IP address or FQDN. For example:

$ ssh npadmin@10.1.0.1

or

$ ssh npadmin@exampleFQDN

Enter privileged mode:

npadmin@ia> enable

Enter the npadmin password. The password can be 5 to 24 characters long.

[sudo] password for npadmin: <password>

Enter configuration mode:

npadmin@ia# configure system

Enter the Web server certificate configuration menu.

npadmin@ia(config)# certificates

Enter 1. The custom certificate configuration menu appears.

Enter 1 to open the certificate signing request (CSR) settings. You see a menu similar to the following:

Country Name (2 letter code) []:

State or Province Name (full name) []:

Locality Name (eg, city) []:

Organization Name (eg, company) []:

Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:

Common Name (eg, fully qualified host name) []:

Email Address []: Key Size []:

Enter the information required of each setting. However, if Key Size [] is left empty, the generated private key size defaults to 2048, which meets the security requirements defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Enter Y to confirm the CSR settings are correct. A PEM-encoded request is generated by the system.

Copy and paste the PEM-encoded request into a text file and submit the request to a certificate authority.
