PowerVault 77xN Certificate

By default, your NAS system has a self-generated and self-signed certificate. The configured SSL port is 1279.

Using a Custom Certificate

If a certification authority is present in the network, the administrator can choose to change the default certificate for your NAS

system. The administrator must use the wizards to first request a certificate and then apply it to the NAS system.

Obtaining a Server Certificate From a Certification Authority

NOTE:

If you are replacing your current server certificate, the Internet Information Server (IIS) continues to use the old

certificate until the new request has been completed.

Find a certification authority that provides services that meet your business needs, and then request a server certificate.

NOTE:

For the latest list of certification authorities supporting IIS, see the Microsoft Security website. In the By

Category list, select Certification Authority Services.

To obtain a server certificate, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the NAS Manager.

2. Click Maintenance, and then click Remote Desktop.

3. Log in to the NAS system as an administrator.

NOTE:

The default administrative user name is administrator and the default password is powervault.

4. Double-click the NAS Utilities icon on the NAS system's desktop.

5. In the NAS Utilities window, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet Information

Services.

6. Double-click the local system to expand it, and then double-click Web Sites.

7. Right-click the Administration icon, and then select Properties.

8. In the Administration Properties window, click Directory Security.

9. Click Server Certificate to access the Web Server Certificate Wizard.

10. Use the Web Server Certificate Wizard to create a certificate request.

11. Send the certificate request to the certification authority.

The certification authority processes the request and sends you the certificate.

NOTE:

Some certification authorities require you to prove your identity before processing your request or issuing

you a certificate.

12. Use the Web Server Certificate Wizard to install your certificate.
