Adding Secure Fabric OS to the Fabric Distributing Digital Certificates to the Switches You can use the PKICERT utility to distribute the digital certificates to the switches in the fabric. The utility ensures that each digital certificate is installed on the correctly corresponding switch. If the utility is run without any task argument, it defaults to Interactive User mode, in which it prompts for the required input. Note: If this procedure is interrupted by a switch reboot, the certificate is not loaded and the procedure must be repeated. To load digital certificates onto one or more switches: 1. Choose Start > Run and enter the installation location of the PKICERT utility. The default location is c:\security\nt_pki\pkicert.exe. The utility prompts for the events log file name. Example: PKI CERTIFICATE INSTALLATION UTILITY 1.0.1 All events and errors will be recorded in an event/error log file. The default name for the file is shown in brackets. New event/error information is always appended to the file if it already exists. To accept the default file name, press enter. Otherwise enter the name you prefer. [pki_events.log] => 2. Type a filename for the events log and press Enter. The file is automatically created at the PKICert installation location. The utility prompts for the function that you want to perform.
