Certificate Administration 117
Certificate Administration
Certificates/Authentications (SSL Certificate) screen
This page displays the detailed information of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Certificate currently in use by
the Virtual Connect Manager. An SSL certificate is used to certify the identity of the Virtual Connect
Manager and is required by the underlying HTTP server to establish a secure (encrypted) communications
channel with the client Web browser.
On initial start up, the Virtual Connect Manager generates a default self-signed SSL Certificate valid for
10 years, and the certificate is issued to the DNS name of the Virtual Connect Ethernet module (the
dynamic DNS name from the Default Networks Setting label). Because this default certificate is self-
signed, the "issued by" field is also set to the same DNS name.
If the Virtual Connect Manager is configured with a Virtual Connect domain IP address, then future
certificate requests generated are issued to this domain IP address. For information on generating a new
certificate, see "Certificate Request (on page 118)."
NOTE: When using a domain IP address, Certificate Administration allows a common
certificate to be utilized between a Primary in Bay 1 and a subsequent Primary in Bay 2 after
a failover.
