These attributes are used for certificate based authentication. This is
used in conjunction with a signing server as an alternative to password
based authentication.
The attributes can be displayed to check the stored value.
Some usage examples:
- Installing a certificate to enable feature:
- echo <supervisor password > authentication/Admin/current_password
- echo <signed certificate> > authentication/Admin/certificate
- Updating the installed certificate:
- echo <signature> > authentication/Admin/signature
- echo <signed certificate> > authentication/Admin/certificate
+ Installing a certificate to enable feature::
- Removing the installed certificate:
- echo <signature> > authentication/Admin/signature
- echo '' > authentication/Admin/certificate
+ echo "supervisor password" > authentication/Admin/current_password
+ echo "signed certificate" > authentication/Admin/certificate
- Changing a BIOS setting:
- echo <signature> > authentication/Admin/signature
- echo <save signature> > authentication/Admin/save_signature
- echo Enable > attribute/PasswordBeep/current_value
+ Updating the installed certificate::
+
+ echo "signature" > authentication/Admin/signature
+ echo "signed certificate" > authentication/Admin/certificate
+
+ Removing the installed certificate::
+
+ echo "signature" > authentication/Admin/signature
+ echo "" > authentication/Admin/certificate
+
+ Changing a BIOS setting::
