Configuring an Entity Distinguished Name

A certificate is the combination of a public key and the identity information of an entity, where the CA identifies a certificate applicant and the identity information using an entity Distinguished Name (DN).

Enter the pki-entity command to configure a PKI entity and enter PKI entity configuration sub-mode. In this mode, you can configure other PKI parameters. The following example configures the following parameters for the PKI entity ruckus-entity: common-name, country name, state name, organization unit-name, organization name, email, and location. In addition, parameters such as IP address, fully qualified domain name (FQDN), location, and subject-alternative-name can be configured for the entity.
