A cryptographic key pair is a set of two cryptographic keys (one public and one private) that is used to start an SSL session. Before requesting a certificate from the CA, you must use this procedure to generate a cryptographic key pair and assign that key pair to the new certificate.
To generate public-private key pairs for a certificate:
The following default alias names are specified in the UNIX .plc file or the Microsoft Windows Registry:
Locations of alias IDs for public-private key pairs
For communication from |
Location |
---|---|
Control-M/Server to Control-M/Agent |
NSDN is specified in the ns.plc file. |
Control-M/Server to Control-M/EM |
CODN is specified in the co.plc file. |
Control-M/Server Configuration Agent to Con\-trol-M Configuration Server |
CADN is specified in the ca.plc file. |
Control-M/Agent to Control-M/Server |
AGDN is specified in the ag.plc file. |
Control-M/EM to Control-M/Server |
CODN is specified in the gtw.plc file. |
Control-M/EM to Control-M Configuration Agent |
CADN is specified in the cmsg.plc file. |
If the key pair is generated successfully, the following message is displayed:
Command Generate key successful
For each public-private key pair, the utility lists the alias assigned to the certificate that uses that key pair.
