_certificate_CLI MK4 cmd

The certificate command is used to manage the system’s certificates that are used to establish TLS connections to the audit server as well as to secure HTTPS sessions.

Note

The certificate command can only be used by an administrator.
The autocert file is a default certificate file, generated when the IP address is changed from factory settings, or when an audit or an HTTPS session starts with no selected certificate.

fmt	auto	The format in which the certificate is encrypted: `auto`: Detects the certificate format based on file extension when importing. `pem`: Privacy Enhanced Mail Base64 encoded DER certificate `p7`: PKCS#7 `p12`: PKCS#12 `pfx`: PKCS#12 `der`: Distinguish Encoding Rules
