text_file = open(filename, "w")

text_file.writelines(cert)

text_file.close()

return filename

Important Notes

 Make sure your environment is configured well with WSMAN CLI tools, along with the appropriate

version of Python.

 The target system that the scripts communicate with need to have WSMAN service running in the

software stack. Dell’s iDRACs are configured with WSMAN service in the firmware image.
