190 Using the CMC Web Interface

Accessing the SSL Main Menu

NOTE: To configure SSL settings for CMC, you must have Chassis Configuration

Administrator privilege.

NOTE: Any server certificate you upload must be current (not expired) and signed

by a certificate authority.

To access the SSL main menu:

Click the

Network

tab, and then click the

SSL

subtab. The

SSL Main

page appears.

Use the SSL Main Menu page options to generate a CSR to send to a

certificate authority. The CSR information is stored on the CMC firmware.

Generating a New Certificate Signing Request

To ensure security, it is strongly recommended that you obtain and upload a

secure server certificate to CMC. Secure server certificates ensure the identity

of a remote system and that information exchanged with the remote system

cannot be viewed or changed by others. Without a secure server certificate,

CMC is vulnerable to access from unauthorized users.

Table 5-48. SSL Main Menu Options

Field Description

Generate a New

Certificate Signing

Request (CSR)

Select this option and click Next to open the Generate

Certificate Signing Request (CSR) page, where you can

generate a CSR request for a secure Web certificate to

submit to a certificate authority.

NOTE: Each new CSR overwrites any previous CSR on CMC.

For a certificate authority to accept your CSR, the CSR in CMC

must match the certificate returned from the certificate

authority.
