Import a Certificate Using the ACLI

For an end-entity certificate, after a certificate is generated using the ACLI security certificate request command, submit the request to a CA for generation of a certificate in PKCS7 or X509v3 format. When the certificate has been generated, you can import it into the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) using the security certificate import command.

The syntax is:

ACMEPACKET # security certificate import [try-all | pkcs7 | pkcs12 |
x509] [certificate-record file-name]

To import a certificate:

1. When you use the import-certificate <certificate-record-name> command, you can specify whether you want to use PKCS7, PKCS12, X509v3 format, or try all. In the command line, you enter the command, the format specification, and the name of the certificate record. The E-SBC prompts you to enter the certificate in PEM format. Paste the certificate in the ACLI. For example:

   ACMEPACKET# security certificate import try-all acmepacket
   The following displays:
   Please enter the certificate in the PEM format.
   Terminate the certificate with ";" to exit.......
