If VCM is configured with a VC domain IP address, then future certificate requests generated are issued to this
domain IP address. For information on generating a new certificate, see "Certificate request (on page
)."
For information on uploading certificates for use in the VC-Enet module, see "Certificate upload (on page
)."
NOTE:
When using a domain IP address, Certificate Administration allows a common certificate
to be utilized between a primary module and a subsequent primary module in the adjacent
horizontal bay after a failover.
The following table describes the tables within the Certificate/Authentications (SSL Certificate) screen.
Row
Description
Issued to
The subject, or "Common Name," to which this SSL Certificate is issued. By
default, this is the dynamic DNS name of the VC-Enet module. If a Virtual
Connect domain IP address is configured, a new certificate request is issued to
the domain IP address.
Issued by
Name of the Certificate Authority (CA) that issued this SSL Certificate. By
default, the Virtual Connect Manager generates a self-signed certificate, which
means the "Issued by" field contains the same dynamic DNS name as the
"Issued for" field. If the Domain Administrator has requested a new certificate
and it is signed by a CA, then the name of the CA is displayed.
Valid from
The date and time starting when this certificate became valid
Valid until
The date and time when this certificate becomes invalid
Serial Number
Serial number of the certificate. This serial number is unique per Certificate
Authority that issued it.
Version
Version of the certificate
MD5 Fingerprint
Unique fingerprint of the certificate, calculated using cryptographic hash
function Message-Digest algorithm 5 (MD5). This fingerprint can be used to
further verify that the correct certificate is being used.
