Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
Generating a new CSR prevents certificates that were created with the previously generated CSR from being uploaded to the
appliance.
NOTE: Ensure the File Download option is enabled to download a CSR. This option is applicable for Internet Explorer
users and can be enabled from Internet Options -> Security -> Internet -> Custom Level -> Downloads.
To generate a CSR, do the following:
1. On the Admin Portal page, select Settings->Security, click Generate Certificate Signing Request in the SSL
Certificates area. A message is displayed stating that if a new CSR is generated, certificates created using the previous
CSR can no longer be uploaded to the appliance.
2. If you continue with the request, in the Generate Certificate Signing Request dialog box, enter information about the
common name, organization, locality, state, country, Primary Subject Alternate Name, Secondary Subject Alternate Name
and email address. Click Generate.
3. Click Download, and then save the resulting CSR to an accessible location.
Upload HTTPS certificate
Ensure that the certificate uses the PEM format.
You can use the HTTPS certificates for secure communication with OMIMSSC appliance and host systems or OMIMSSC. To set
up this type of secure communication, send the CSR certificate to a certificate signing authority, and then upload the resulting
signed certificate using the admin console.
1. On the Admin Portal page, click Settings>Security, click Upload Certificate in the SSL Certificates area.
2. Choose options from Upload Certificate dialog box
3. To upload the certificate, click Browse, and then click Upload.
4. A dialog box will be displayed to indicate the certificate upload is complete.
NOTE:
While the certificate is being uploaded, the OMIMSSC appliance may be unresponsive for a few minutes while
the services are being restarted. It is recommended to close all existing browser sessions of OMIMSSC Admin Portal and
OMIMSSC Console plug-in on the MECM/SCVMM consoles. Log in again to the OMIMSSC Admin Portal to view the
uploaded certificate.
Restore default HTTPS certificate
1. On the Admin Portal page, select Settings->Security, click Restore Default Certificate in the SSL CERTIFICATES area.
2. In the RESTORE DEFAULT CERTIFICATE dialog box, click Yes.
NOTE:
While the Default Certificate is being restored, the OMIMSSC appliance may be unresponsive for a few minutes
while the services being restarted. It is recommended to clear the browser cache and close the existing browser sessions
of OMIMSSC Admin Portal and OMIMSSC Console plug-in on the MECM/SCVMM consoles. Log in again to the OMIMSSC
Admin Portal to view updated certificate.
