Importing Certificates
In order for DSView and Rack Power Manager software to interface with Data Center Planner, it is necessary to
import the software certificate to the Avocent® Management Platform/Data Center Planner server. This trust
relationship is needed so that the client server (Data Center Planner) will trust the DSView management software
or Rack Power Manager software server and establish a secure connection. Both DSView management and Rack
Power Manager software use the same process for handling certificates.
NOTE: It is not necessary to import the software certificate for Liebert SiteScan™ Web software.
When importing a certificate on a Windows server, if you get an Access Denied error, right-click the command
prompt on the server and click Run as Administrator. This will let you enter the command and import the
certificate with no errors.
To import software certificates:
1. Open a browser on the Data Center Planner server and connect to the server.
• For DSView software, use https://<dsview server>.
• For Rack Power Manager use, https://<rpm server>.
2. The browser displays the Certificate Error next to the address bar. Click Certificate Error.
3. When the Certificate Invalid window opens, click View certificates at the bottom of the window.
