<rsa>

Specifies the value of the RSA field of an X.509 certificate used to authenticate a service to a client.

A RSA check enables you to specifically restrict authentication to a single certificate based upon its RSA key or generated your own RSA key value. This enables stricter authentication of a specific RSA key at the expense of the service no longer working with existing clients if the RSA key value is changed.

For more information about using identity to validate a service to a client, see Specifying Service Identity.

                                    <rsa value = "String" />

Example

The following configuration code specifies the public key value of an X.509 certificate that is used to authenticate a server.

<identity>
  <rsa value = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"/>
