ASA 5540 VPN Premium license. Version 9.1(7)

asa01(config)# crypto key generate rsa label sslvpnkey                             
                      ^                                                         
ERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

It seems I'm missing options for crypto:

asa01(config)# crypto ?

configure mode commands/options:
  engine  Configure crypto engine
  isakmp  Configure ISAKMP

Serial Number: ***********
Running Permanent Activation Key: ********** ********** ********** ********** ********** 
Configuration register is 0x1
Configuration has not been modified since last system restart.

UPDATE: I was in multi-context mode, after switching to single context, webvpn command is now recognized (with only the remove option) and crypto now only has the ca option.

Why am I missing options?

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 9.1(7) <system>

As I asked on your previous NE question, you're running in multiple context mode. The "<system>" at the end of the version line is the dead giveaway. You cannot set RSA keys from the system context. You need to be in a specific context -- or turn multiple context mode off.

  • please see update comment at bottom of post, i'll update the sh ver output when I get a chance, <system> indicator is gone, in single context mode. – Don Peat Oct 22 '18 at 18:37
