common-name
Function
The common-name command configures a common name for an entity.
The undo common-name command cancels the configuration.
By default, a PKI entity does not have a common name.
Parameters
Parameter | Description | Value |
---|---|---|
common-name | Specifies the common name of an entity. | The value is a string of 1 to 64 case-sensitive characters, including letters, numerals, apostrophes ('), equal signs (=), parentheses (), plus signs (+), commas (,), minus signs (-), periods (.), slashes (/), colons (:), and spaces. |
Usage Guidelines
After a PKI entity is created, a common name must be configured to uniquely identify the PKI entity.
After the common name is configured for a PKI entity, the certificate request packet sent by the device to the CA server carries this name. The CA server verifies every received certificate request packet. For each valid packet, the CA server generates a digital certificate carrying the common name of the PKI entity.
