Importing CA certicates to management station
When you launch Virtual Console or Virtual Media, prompts are displayed to verify the certicates. If you have custom Web server
certicates, you can avoid these prompts by importing the CA certicates to the Java or ActiveX trusted certicate store.

Importing CA certicate to Java trusted certicate store
To import the CA certicate to the Java trusted certicate store:
1 Launch the Java Control Panel.
2 Click Security tab and then click Certicates.
The Certicates dialog box is displayed.
3 From the Certicate type drop-down menu, select Trusted Certicates.
4 Click Import, browse, select the CA certicate (in Base64 encoded format), and click Open.
The selected certicate is imported to the Web start trusted certicate store.
5 Click Close and then click OK. The Java Control Panel window closes.
Importing CA certicate to ActiveX trusted certicate store
You must use the OpenSSL command line tool to create the certicate Hash using Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA). It is recommended to use
OpenSSL tool 1.0.x and later since it uses SHA by default. The CA certicate must be in Base64 encoded PEM format. This is one-time
process to import each CA certicate.
To import the CA certicate to the ActiveX trusted certicate store:
1 Open the OpenSSL command prompt.
2 Run a 8 byte hash on the CA certicate that is currently in-use on the management station using the command: openssl x509 -
in (name of CA cert) -noout -hash
An output le is generated. For example, if the CA certicate le name is cacert.pem, the command is:
openssl x509 –in cacert.pem –noout –hash
The output similar to “431db322” is generated.
3 Rename the CA le to the output le name and include a “.0" extension. For example, 431db322.0.
4 Copy the renamed CA certicate to your home directory. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\<user> directory.
