Configure the HP FlexFabric Switch to map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication.

Configure PKI entity:
[HP] pki entity HP
[HP-pki-entity-HP] common-name HP
[HP-pki-entity-HP] country US[HP-pki-entity-HP] locality Littleton
[HP-pki-entity-HP] organization-unit STG
[HP-pki-entity-HP] organization HP
[HP-pki-entity-HP] state MA
[HP-pki-entity-HP] ip 15.252.76.101
[HP-pki-entity-HP] quit

Configure PKI domain:
[HP] pki domain HP
[HP-pki-domain-HP] certificate request entity HP
[HP-pki-domain-HP] public-key rsa general name hostkey
[HP-pki-domain-HP] source ip 15.252.76.101
[HP-pki-domain-HP] undo crl check enable
[HP-pki-domain-HP] quit

Submit certificate request on the switch:
[HP] pki request-certificate domain HP pkcs10

Transfer and import downloaded CA and user certificates to the switch:
[HP] pki import domain jitc pem ca filename rae-root-ca.cer
[HP] pki import domain jitc pem local filename HP.cer

Configure a local user:
[HP] local-user pkiuser
[HP-luser-pkiuser] service-type ssh
[HP-luser-pkiuser] authorization-attribute user-role network-admin
[HP-luser-pkiuser] password

Set this user as an SSH user and set authentication type to password-public key and assign pki domain:
[HP] ssh user pkiuser service-type all authentication-type password-publickey assign pki-domain hp

Note: Configuration required on the server side is not covered here.

The HP FlexFabric Switch must map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication.
