Next

to move from screen to screen.)

1. On the Windows

Start

menu, select

Programs

, then

APC Security

Wizard

, to start the Wizard program.

2. On the screen labeled Step 1, select

SSL Server Certificate

as the

type of file to create.

3. Enter a name for the file that will contain the server certificate and the

private key. The file name must have a

.p15

extension. By default, the

file will be created in the installation folder

C:\Program

Files\American Power Conversion\APC Security Wizard

.

4. Click the

Browse

button, and select the CA root certificate created in

the procedure

Create a Root Certificate & Server Certificates

. The CA

Root Certificate is used to sign the Server User Certificate being
generated.

5. On the screen labeled Step 2, provide the information to configure the

server certificate. The

Country

and

Common Name

fields are

required; the other fields are optional. For the

Common Name

field,

enter the IP address or DNS name of the server (Network
Management Card). Because the configuration information is part of
the signature, it cannot be exactly the same as the information you
provided when creating the CA root certificate; the information you
provide in some of the fields must be different.

6. On the next screen, review the summary of the certificate. Scroll

downward to view the certificate’s unique serial number and
fingerprints. To make any changes to the information you provided,
click

Back

, and revise the information.

By default, a server certificate is valid for 10 years from the
current date and time, but you can edit the

Validity Period

and

fields.
