Verifying the Server Certificate
This chapter describes how to verify that the server certificate that you want to use is the certificate in use. To do this,
perform the following steps:

The Welcome to Dell Encryption Key Manager screen appears.
2. In the navigation pane, navigate to Dell Encryption Key Manager → Advanced Configuration → Server Certificates.
The Administer Server Certificates screen appears.
3. Confirm that there is a check mark in the In Use column for the certificate you want to use.
If the In Use column for the desired certificate has a check mark in it, this procedure is complete.
If the In Use column for the certificate you want to use does not have a check mark in it, perform the following
steps:
a) Click on the certificate you want to use to highlight it.
b) Click Modify at the top of the table.
The Modify SSL/KMIP subwindow appears.
c) Select the Current certificate in use check box.
