Sets the certificate administrator’s passphrase for 
encrypted private keys in a configuration backup, if the 
certificate administrator role has been separated from 
the administrator role.

If the admin user is a member of the certadmin group 
(the default setting), the admin user is prompted for an 
export passphrase to protect the private keys in the 
configuration dump each time the 

 

command is used.

Set a certificate administrator export passphrase only if 
the admin user has removed himself or herself from the 
certadmin group and added a certificate administrator 
user with certadmin group rights. When a configuration 
backup is performed using the 

 

command, the certadmin export passphrase is 
automatically used (without prompting the user) to 
protect the encrypted private keys. When the 

 command is used to restore a 

configuration backup from a file exchange server, the 
user is prompted for the correct certadmin passphrase, 
as defined using the 

 command.

Note: The 

 menu command is displayed 

only when the logged on user is a member of the 
certadmin group.
