HP 1.10GB Virtual Connect Ethernet Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 118)

Certificate Administration 118
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 HP 1/10Gb 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.
SHA1 Fingerprint Unique fingerprint of the certificate, calculated using cryptographic hash
function Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1). This fingerprint can be used to
further verify that the correct certificate is being used.
Certificate Request
This page displays a standardized certificate signing request generated by the Virtual Connect Manager.
The content of the request in the text box can be sent to a Certificate Authority of your choice for signing.
After it is signed by and returned from the Certificate Authority, you can upload the certificate by clicking
Certificate Upload on the Certificates/Authentications (SSL Certificate) screen.
If a Virtual Connect domain IP address is configured for the Virtual Connect Manager at the time this
certificate request is generated, the certificate request is issued to the domain IP address. Otherwise, the
request is issued to the dynamic DNS name of the Virtual Connect Ethernet module. The certificate, by
default, requests a valid duration of 10 years (this value is currently not configurable).
