HP iLO 3 Scripting and Command Line Guide

CERTIFICATE_SIGNING_REQUEST

This command requests a certificate from iLO. When this command is received, iLO generates a

certificate signing request. The request is returned to the user enclosed in a

CERTIFICATE_SIGNING_REQUEST tag. This command requires HPQLOCFG.EXE version 1.00 or

later.

For example:

<RIB_INFO MODE = "write">

<CERTIFICATE_SIGNING_REQUEST/>

</RIB_INFO>

</LOGIN>

</RIBCL>

For the custom CERTIFICATE_SIGNING_REQUEST script, you must specify all tags, except for

CSR_ORGANIZATIONAL_UNIT. If you run the script with any missing tags, then the default is used

for the missing tag. If a required tag is left blank, an error message appears.

<RIB_INFO MODE="write">

<CERTIFICATE_SIGNING_REQUEST>

<CSR_STATE VALUE =""/>

<CSR_COUNTRY VALUE ="US"/>

<CSR_LOCALITY VALUE ="Houston"/>

<CSR_ORGANIZATIONAL_UNIT VALUE =""/>
