Description: Causes the host to generate a new key pair using the cipher algorithm currently selected in etsysTlsAdminKeyType. Note that this can be compute intensive on many platforms.

The meaning of the values are as follows:

notInitiated (1) On a write, this is a no-operation, on a read, it indicates that no key material generation operation has ever been initiated, at least since the last reset to factory defaults initialization of the managed entity. No key material exists.

completed (2) On a write, this is a no-operation, on a read, this indicates that a key pair has been successfully generated.

failed (3) On a write, this is a no-operation, on a read, it indicates that the key generation operation has failed.

generate (4) On a write, this causes the managed entity to generate a new key pair, on a read, it indicates that the managed entity is still working on creating the new keys.

completedPending (5) On a write, this is a no-operation, on a read, this indicates that a key pair has been successfully generated but its use is pending due to another required operation, such as a reboot.
