Introduction
This document explains the methods that you can use in order to manually add self−signed certificates (SSCs)
to a Cisco Wireless LAN (WLAN) Controller (WLC).
The SSC of an access point (AP) should exist on all WLCs in the network to which the AP has permission to
register. As a general rule, apply the SSC to all WLCs in the same mobility group. When addition of the SSC
to the WLC does not occur through the upgrade utility, you must manually add the SSC to the WLC with use
of the procedure in this document. You also need this procedure when an AP is moved to a different network
or when additional WLCs are added to the existing network.
You can recognize this problem when a Lightweight AP Protocol (LWAPP)−converted AP does not associate
to the WLC. When you troubleshoot the association problem, you see these outputs when you issue these
debugs:
When you issue the debug pm pki enable command, you see:
