pix message

[fcatalao]

After my pix 520 boots up I get the following message:

pixfirewall>

Cannot select private key

I am able to press emter and continue. I have two questions. How to I remove this message and does it affect the working of my pix?

Regards

Fernando

Hi,

This is due to an RSA key issue. Did you write erase the PIX, change the domain name or the host name? Anyway, your going to need to zeroize the RSA and recreate it if you need it. The command is...

ca zeroize rsa

This command will not hurt the PIX but I'm not clear on what the RSA key was used for.

Hope that helps.

Previous post is correct. More of a cosmetic issue unless you wanted to use SSH to connect to your PIX. To resolve this, please use the following steps:

1 - ca zeroize rsa

2 - ca gen rsa key 1024

3 - ca save all

4 - write mem

5 - reload firewall

Hope this helps.
