Network Management Card

ssl
certificate
Add, replace, or remove a security certificate.
Status:
• Not installed: A certificate is not installed, or was installed by FTP or SCP to an
incorrect location. Using Add or Replace Certificate File installs the certificate to
the correct location, /sec on the Network Management Card.
• Generating: The Network Management Card is generating a certificate because
no valid certificate was found.
• Loading: A certificate is being activated on the Management Card.
• Valid certificate: A valid certificate was installed or was generated by the
Management Card. Click on this link to view the certificate’s contents.
If you install an invalid certificate, or if no certificate is loaded when you
enable SSL, the Management Card generates a default certificate, a process
which delays access to the interface for up to five minutes. You can use the
default certificate for basic encryption-based security, but a security alert message
displays whenever you log on.
Add or Replace Certificate File: Enter or browse to the certificate file created with
the Security Wizard.
See “Creating and Installing Digital Certificates” in the Security Handbook on the
APC Network Management Card Utility CD to choose a method for using digital
certificates created by the Security Wizard or generated by the Management Card.
Remove: Delete the current certificate.
