Importing trusted certificates

If you have selected Require on the Trusted System Certificates page, you must import certificates that
represent the

managed systems

you want to trust into the Trusted Certificates List. You can import the

certificate

of the system itself on a per system basis. You can also import the signing certificate of the

Certificate Authority

(CA)

or intermediate CA used to sign and issue certificates for groups of systems, which simplifies the

maintenance of this list.

NOTE:

Only users with

full configuration rights

can import certificates into the HP Systems Insight Manager

(HP SIM) Trusted System Certificates List.

NOTE:

HP SIM only supports importing certificates that have public key sizes of 2,048 bits or less.

To import certificates into the Trusted System Certificates List:

1.

Select Options

SecurityCertificatesTrusted Certificates, and then click Import. The Import

Trusted System Certificate

section appears.

2.

Next to the Certificate filename field, click Browse.

The Choose file dialog box appears.

3.

Navigate to the location of the certificate to be imported, and select the file name. Click Open.

The certificate is imported.
