Certificate Signing Request with ECDSA P-384 and SHA-384

    Is it possible to create a Certificate Signing Request for ECDSA P-384 and SHA-384 with the Aruba Mobility Controller 72xx series?

     

    It appears to be limited to SHA-256 as a maximum.

    Thank you for the reply but from my understanding, that may be SHA2 but not at 384. If you generate a CSR with that, I think you will find it is SHA-256. I could be wrong, it may be I'm running an older version of code or have a licensing issue. I'm new to Aruba.

    Judging by the Open SSL documentation, it should list ecdsa-with-SHA384.I think Aruba uses Open SSL due to the similarity in the command line.

    Here is a link that discusses the Open SSL capability.

    Being new to Aruba, I don't know of any way to get this rone.

    In most cases, it's recommended to do the CSR on an external server so you can back up the private key and/or use the certificate on your other controllers.

    Agreed,

     

    Just generate your own CSR offline.

    Thanks, got it.

     

    On a different device:

    Create keys as exportable

    Create CSR

    Apply for certificate using CSR

    Import keys on controller

    Import certificate on controller

     

    Show some care when doing this, certificates are tied to DNS.
