Enabling SSL/TLS for the Device Manager server

To enable SSL/TLS for the Device Manager server, from the HiKeytool main menu, select SSL

configuration for Device Manager Server, and then Set Device Manager Server Security Level.

Operations to complete in advance

• Log in as a user with Administrator permissions (for Windows) or as a root user (for Linux).

• Create a self-signed certificate and key pair for the Device Manager server.

To enable SSL/TLS for the Device Manager server:

1. Start HiKeytool, and then in the main menu, enter 1 (SSL configuration for Device Manager Server).

2. In the server main menu, enter 2 (Set Device Manager Server Security Level).

3. Enter 2 (TLS/SSL).

4. Restart the P9000 Command View AE Suite product services for the changes to take effect.

If you will continue to specify other security settings by using HiKeytool, you do not have to restart

the services after each setting. Changes will become effective when you restart the services after

you have finished specifying all settings by using HiKeytool.

NOTE:

The following setting is used also for communication between vCenter Server and the management

server. If Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning is being used, you must change this setting for

Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning as well.
