Syntax



Parameters

keyfile

Name for and, optionally, path to the ECDSA key file. /nsconfig/ssl/ is the default path.
This is mandatory parameter.

curve

This is mandatory parameter.
Default value = FIPSEXP_F4.

keyform

Format in which the ECDSA key file is stored on the appliance.
Default value = FORMAT_PEM.

des
