Installing WS-MAN or CIM-XML on Linux Client
No special software components are required on the Linux client system to use
the HTTP except installing the QCS management application. However, for
WS-MAN installations, you can optionally configure the HTTPS protocol for use
with QCS.
Configuring HTTPS on Linux Client
To configure HTTPS on a Linux client requires importing the certificate and testing
HTTPS and the SSL connection.
Import Self-Signed Certificate on Linux Client
On Linux distributions, make note of the following certificate directory:
 For all SUSE versions, the certificate directory is /etc/ssl/certs.
 For Red Hat, the certificate directory can be different for each version. For
some versions, it is /etc/ssl/certs or /etc/pki/tls/certs. For
other versions, find out the certificate directory.
Copy the self-signed certificate file hostname.pem into the certificate directory
of the Linux client. For example, if the certificate directory is /etc/ssl/certs,
copy hostname.pem to /etc/ssl/certs.
1. Change the directory to:
/etc/ssl/certs
2. Create a hash value by issuing the following command:
openssl x509 -noout -hash -in hostname.pem
A value such as the following is returned:
100940db
3. Create a symbolic link to the hash value by issuing the following command:
ln -s hostname.pem 100940db.0
