Exporting an existing token from a Central Management System peer using the CLI

Prev Next

Use the CLI commands to export an existing authentication token from a Central Management System peer. Use this procedure when you want to use an existing token with another Central Management System peer but do not want to generate a new token. When a token is exported, it is displayed. You can copy the existing token and send it to the administrator of a Central Management System peer.

To export an existing authentication token with a Central Management System peer:
  1. Go to CLI configuration mode.

    CMS1 > enable
    CMS1 # configure terminal
  2. Export an existing token. Partial output of the existing token is displayed.

    CMS1 (config) # cms peer-service auth-token export
    AUTH-TOKEN = "PD94bWwg.........."
    AUTH-TOKEN CHECKSUM = "234b19a369887ef5b0bbfd269c477704"
    .
    .
    .
  3. Copy all the characters of the existing token within the quotes, but do not copy the quotes, from the exported auth-token.

  4. Paste the exported token to an out-of-band mechanism (for example, a signed email).

  5. Send the exported token to the administrator of the CM peer.
