The following operations can be performed on “ssl-rsakey”:

create ssl rsakey

Generates an RSA key.

Synopsis

create ssl rsakey \[-exponent \( 3 | F4 )] \[-keyform \( DER | PEM )] \[-des | -des3 | -aes256] {-password } \[-pkcs8]

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: F4

keyform Format in which the RSA key file is stored on the appliance.

Possible values: DER, PEM Default value: 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.

aes256 Encrypt the generated RSA 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 rsakey /nsconfig/ssl/rsa1024.pem 1024 -exp F4
