Usage Guidelines

To change the format for the saved certificate request, certificate, and CRL, for example, to use the certificate and CRL obtained through CMPv2, SCEP, run the pki file-format command.

However, the certificate and CRL obtained through HTTP are downloaded directly and are not saved in the format configured using this command. The created self-signed certificate or local certificate can only be saved in PEM format.

Example

# Set the format of saved certificate request, certificate, and CRL to DER.
