Certificate Signing
Request (CSR)
This section allows you to define the Certificate Signing Request
(CSR) form. The IPMI uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol
for encrypted network traffic between itself and the remote host
servers. When a connection is made, the IPMI has to expose its
identity to a remote host by using a cryptographic certificate.
To create a certificate that is unique to a particular IPMI card or
SIMBL card, a certification authority (CA) needs to fill out the CSR
form indicated in the CSR section.
2 Common Name Enter the (fully qualified domain) network name of the IPMI.
3 Organization Unit
Enter the name of the department within an organization to which the
IPMI belongs.
4 Organization Enter the name of the organization to which the IPMI belongs.
