Adding trusted certificates

iLO users who have the Configure iLO Settings privilege can install trusted certificates or add direct
DNS names.

The Base64-encoded X.509 certificate data resembles the following:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

. . . several lines of encoded data . . .

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

To add trusted HP SSO records by using the iLO web interface:
1.

Navigate to the Administration

→Security→HP SSO page, as shown in

Figure 26 (page 62)

.

2.

Use one of the following methods to add a trusted certificate:

To directly import a trusted certificate, copy the Base64-encoded certificate X.509 data,
paste it into the text box above the Import Certificate button, and then click the button.

To indirectly import a trusted certificate, type the DNS name or IP address in the text box
above the Import Certificate from URL button, and then click the button. iLO contacts the
HP SSO-compliant application over the network, retrieves the certificate, and then saves
it.

To import the direct DNS name, enter the DNS name in the text box above the Import
Direct DNS Name button, and then click the button.
