 Select System: SSL Certificate and fill out the fields as explained below:
Common name This is the network name of the console server once it is installed in the
network (usually the fully qualified domain name). It is identical to the name that is used to
access the console server with a web browser (without the “http://” prefix). In case the
name given here and the actual network name differ, the browser will pop up a security
warning when the console server is accessed using HTTPS.
Organizational Unit Use this field to specify which department within an organization the
console server belongs to.
Organization The name of the organization that the console server belongs to.
Locality/City The city where the organization is located.
State/Province The state or province where the organization is located.
Country The country where the organization is located. This is the two-letter ISO code,
for example, DE for Germany, or US for the USA. (Note: Enter the country code in CAPITAL
LETTERS.)
Email The email address of a contact person that is responsible for the console server
and its security.
Challenge Password Some certification authorities require a challenge password to
authorize later changes on the certificate (for example, revocation of the certificate). The
password must be at least 4 characters long.
Confirm Challenge Password Confirmation of the Challenge Password.
Key length This is the length of the generated key in bits. 1024 Bits are supposed to be
sufficient for most cases. Longer keys may result in slower response time of the console
server when establishing connection.
 Once this is done, click on the button Generate CSR which will initiate the Certificate
Signing Request generation. The CSR can be downloaded to your administration machine
with the Download button.
 Send the saved CSR string to a Certification Authority (CA) for certification. You will get the
new certificate from the CA after a more or less complicated traditional authentication
process (depending on the CA).
 Upload the certificate to the console server using the Upload button as shown below.
