Use the command "security certificate show -instance -type client-ca" to show information about the ca-certificates that are installed. If any of the certificates have the name or identifier of a non-approved source in the Issuer field, this is a finding.

Generate a new key-pair from a DoD-approved certificate issuer. Sites must consult the PKI/PKI pages on the http://iase.disa.mil/ website for procedures for NIPRNet and SIPRNet.

RSA:
request security pki generate-key-pair certificate-id type rsa size <512 | 1024 | 2048 | 4096>

ECDSA:
request security pki generate-key-pair certificate-id type ecdsa size <256 | 384>

Generate a CSR from RSA key-pair using the following command and options.

request security generate-certificate-request certificate-id digest domain email ip-address subject “CN=,DC=,DC=,O=,OU=,
L=,ST=,C=” filename

Generate a CSR from ECDSA key-pair use the following command and options.

request security generate-certificate-request certificate-id digest domain email ip-address subject “CN=,DC=,DC=,O=,OU=,
L=,ST=,C=” filename

If no filename is specified, the CSR is displayed on the standard out (terminal)

After receiving the approved certificate from the CA, install the certificate with the command "security certificate install -type client-ca -vserver ".
