l The Key Type drop-down list specifies the type of private key that should be created for the certificate. You can select one of these options: n 1024-bit RSA - not recommended for a root certificate n 2048-bit RSA - recommended for general use n 4096-bit RSA - higher security In the Self-Signed Certificate section: l Use the CA Expiration field to specify the lifetime of the root certificate in days. The default value of 3653 days is a 10-year lifetime. l The Clock Skew Allowance field adds a small amount of time to the start and end of the root certificate's validity period. This permits a newly issued certificate to be recognized as valid in a network where not all devices are perfectly synchronized. l The Digest Algorithm drop-down list allows you to specify which hash algorithm should be used. NOTE: MD5 is not recommended for use with root certificates. Mark the Generate CA certificate and invalidate all other certificates check box to confirm the changes. Click the Create Root Certificate button to save the settings and generate a new root certificate. Setting Up an Intermediate Certificate Authority After you choose Intermediate CA on the Certificate Authority Settings form and click Continue, the Intermediate Certificate Settings form opens. The Intermediate Certificate Settings form is used to configure the distinguished name and properties for the certificate authority's certificate, which will be issued by an external certificate authority. NOTE: If you intend to change any of the intermediate certificate's distinguished name properties, and you have previously created any client or server certificates or performed device provisioning using the existing intermediate certificate, these certificates will be invalidated because the intermediate certificate's distinguished name has changed. In this case, you should use the Reset to Factory Defaults form (see "Resetting Onboard Certificates and Configuration " on page 130) to delete all client certificates and reprovision all devices. You will also need to reissue any server or subordinate CA certificates. To avoid the complication of revoking and reissuing certificates, it is recommended that you configure the certificate authority before any device provisioning or other configuration is done. 84 | Setting Up an Intermediate Certificate Authority Dell Networking W-ClearPass Guest 6.0 | Deployment Guide

| Setting Up an Intermediate Certificate Authority

Dell Networking W-ClearPass Guest 6.0 | Deployment Guide

The

Key Type

drop-down list specifies the type of private key that should be created for the certificate. You can

select one of these options:

1024-bit RSA

– not recommended for a root certificate

2048-bit RSA

– recommended for general use

4096-bit RSA

– higher security

In the

Self-Signed Certificate

section:

Use the

CA Expiration

field to specify the lifetime of the root certificate in days. The default value of 3653 days

is a 10-year lifetime.

The

Clock Skew Allowance

field adds a small amount of time to the start and end of the root certificate’s

validity period. This permits a newly issued certificate to be recognized as valid in a network where not all

devices are perfectly synchronized.

The

Digest Algorithm

drop-down list allows you to specify which hash algorithm should be used.

NOTE: MD5 is not recommended for use with root certificates.

Mark the

Generate CA certificate and invalidate all other certificates

check box to confirm the changes.

Click the

Create Root Certificate

button to save the settings and generate a new root certificate.

Setting Up an Intermediate Certificate Authority

After you choose

Intermediate CA

on the Certificate Authority Settings form and click

Continue

, the Intermediate

Certificate Settings form opens. The Intermediate Certificate Settings form is used to configure the distinguished

name and properties for the certificate authority’s certificate, which will be issued by an external certificate

authority.

NOTE: If you intend to change any of the intermediate certificate's distinguished name properties, and you have previously created

any client or server certificates or performed device provisioning using the existing intermediate certificate, these certificates will

be invalidated because the intermediate certificate's distinguished name has changed. In this case, you should use the Reset to

Factory Defaults form (see

"Resetting Onboard Certificates and Configuration " on page 130

) to delete all client certificates and re-

provision all devices. You will also need to reissue any server or subordinate CA certificates.

To avoid the complication of revoking and reissuing certificates, it is recommended that you configure the

certificate authority before any device provisioning or other configuration is done.
