Switched Rack PDU

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 Switched Rack PDU.
• Generating: The Switched Rack PDU is generating a certificate because no valid
certificate was found.
• Loading: A certificate is being activated on the Rack PDU.
• Valid certificate: A valid certificate was installed or was generated by the Rack
PDU. 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 Rack PDU 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
Switched Rack PDU Utility CD to choose a method for using digital certificates
created by the Security Wizard or generated by the Rack PDU.
Remove: Delete the current certificate.
