Conguring SNMP Agents

The systems management software supports the SNMP systems management standard on all supported operating systems. The

SNMP support may or may not be installed depending on the operating system and how the operating system was installed. An

installed supported systems management protocol standard, such as SNMP, is required before installing the systems management

software.

Congure the SNMP agent to change the community name, enable set operations, and send traps to a management station. To

congure the SNMP agent for proper interaction with management applications, perform the procedures described in the Dell EMC

OpenManage Server Administrator User’s Guide.

X.509 Certicate Management

Web certicates are necessary to ensure that the identity and information exchanged with a remote system is not viewed or

changed by others. To ensure system security, it is strongly recommended that you either generate a new X.509 certicate, reuse an

existing X.509 certicate, or import a root certicate or certicate chain from a Certicate Authority (CA). Authorized CAs include

Verisign, Entrust, and Thawte.

NOTE: Log in with administrator privileges to perform certicate management.

You can manage X.509 certicates for Server Administrator from the Preferences page. Click General Settings, select the Web

Server tab, and click X.509 Certicate.

Best Practices For X.509 Certicate Management
