Defining default certificate attributes using the CLI

Use the commands in this section to define default certificate attributes.

To define attributes:

Go to CLI configuration mode:

hostname > enable
hostname # configure terminal

Define the default value:

hostname (config) # crypto certificate generation default <attribute> <value>

Repeat the previous step for each attribute you want to change.
Save your changes.
```
hostname (config) # write memory
```

(Optional) Regenerate the certificates to apply the updated attributes:

hostname (config) # crypto certificate name <certificateName> regenerate

Example

This example changes the organizational unit to Information Technology. It then regenerates the web-cert certificate to apply the updated attribute value, and displays the certificate to verify the change.

hostname (config) # crypto certificate generation default org-unit "Information Technology" 
 
hostname (config) # crypto certificate name web-cert regenerate
Successfully regenerated certificate with name 'web cert'
 
hostname (config) # show crypto certificate name web-cert
