Table 2-1
provides an overview of the steps required to generate and associate an
RSA key pair and certificate in the CSS. Key and certificate generation may be
necessary in instances where you do not have preexisting keys or certificates for
the CSS. You may want to initially generate RSA keys and temporary certificates
on the CSS for internal SSL testing. A generated certificate is temporary and
expires in 30 days.
