The certificate subtype of Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) (the -subtype kmip-cert parameter), along with the client and server-ca types, specifies that the certificate is used for mutually authenticating the cluster and an external key manager, such as a KMIP server.
About this task
Install a KMIP certificate to authenticate a KMIP server as an SSL server to the cluster.
- Use the security certificate install command with the -type server-ca and -subtype kmip-cert parameters to install a KMIP certificate for the KMIP server.
- When you are prompted, enter the certificate, and then press Enter.
ONTAP reminds you to keep a copy of the certificate for future reference.
Example
cluster1::> security certificate install -type server-ca -subtype kmip-cert
-vserver cluster1
Please enter Certificate: Press <Enter> when done
