To create and install a valid certificate, you must do the following:

• Generate a public and private key pair.

• Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

• Send CSR to CA to request the certificate.

• Transfer CA-signed certificate to the MAS using SFTP.

• Install the certificate using the MAS Console.

A certificate may also be revoked by the CA. A Certificate Revocation List

(CRL) must be obtained from the CA and installed on the server. When a new

CRL is available from the CA, the previously installed CRL on the server is

replaced.

• The CRL is obtained from the CA using a secure method.

• The CRL is installed in a designated location on the server.

Service and configuration data backup

The following sections define configuration data and application data.

Configuration data

Configuration data is the system configuration data that includes all the

configuration parameters. You can use the Nortel MAS Console to view the

configuration parameters.

Service data

Application data is the user data that resides on disk in the managed storage

area of the Content Store.

Automatic and manual backups

This section explains the backup and restore capabilities on the MAS

platform. To back up and restore configuration and service data, you can use

the Nortel MAS Console.

You can use the automatic backup task menu to create regularly scheduled

backups to run, for example, daily, weekly, and biweekly. You can configure the

local destination directory using the properties panel. In the automatic backup

task menu, you can transfer the archive to a remote server through the File

Transfer Protocol (FTP). You can use the properties panel to access the FTP

host, user name, password, destination path, and the option to delete the local

file after transfer.
