SSL Main Menu

Use this page to generate a certificate signing request (CSR), upload a server certificate to the

iBMC firmware, or view an existing server certificate.

NOTE:

You must have Configure iBMC permission to generate or upload a server certificate.

Use the Certificate Management page to generate a certificate signing request (CSR) to send to a

certificate authority (CA). The CSR information is stored on the iBMC firmware.
A CSR is a digital request to a CA for a secure server certificate. Secure server certificates ensure

the identity of a remote system and ensure that information exchanged with the remote system

cannot be viewed or changed by others. To ensure the security for your Dell Remote Management

Controller, it is strongly recommended that you generate a CSR, submit the CSR to a CA, and

upload the certificate returned from the CA.
After the CA approves the CSR and sends you a certificate, you must upload the certificate to the

iBMC firmware. The CSR information stored on the iBMC firmware must match the information

contained in the certificate.
