CERT_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM

Currently, iLO 2 firmware defaults to the MD5 message digest algorithm when generating a self

signed SSL certificate. The MD5 message digest is no longer considered a secure message digest

algorithm by security experts because of its vulnerability to collisions. As a result, some customers

have requested that iLO 2 use the stronger message digest algorithm named SHA1 instead of MD5

when it creates a self signed certificate. The CERT_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM command was

introduced in iLO 2 2.00 firmware to allow customers to configure iLO 2 to generate a MD5 or

SHA1 self signed certificate.

NOTE: iLO 2 firmware will reset after the CERT_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM command successfully

completes.

Examples:

<RIB_INFO MODE = "write">

<CERT_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM ="SHA1"/>

<RIB_INFO MODE = "write">

<CERT_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM ="MD5"/>

</RIBCL>

CERT_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM parameters

CERT_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM – “MD5” to generate an MD5 self signed certificate. “SHA1” to

generate a SHA1 self signed certificate.

CERT_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM runtime errors

• RIB information is open for read-only access. Write access is required for this operation.

• You must have a “Configure iLO 2 Settings” privilege level in order to change the signature

algorithm.

• The certificate signing algorithm parameter must be "MD5" or "SHA1".
