SSL

The Secure Socket Layer protocol was created by Netscape to ensure secure

transactions between web servers and browsers. The protocol uses a third

party, a Certificate Authority (CA), to identify one end or both end of the

transactions.
Using MegaRAC GUI, configure SSL certificate into the BMC. Using this,

the device can be accessed in a secured mode.
To open SSL Certificate Configuration page, click Configuration > SSL

from the main menu. There are three tabs in this page.

Upload SSL option is used to upload the certificate and private key file

into the BMC.
• After uploaded, tab function [

View SSL] will show the

information of PEM file uploaded.

Generate SSL option is used to generate the SSL certificate based on

configuration details.
• After running [

Generate SSL] successfully, [View SSL] will show the

information of SSL generated.

View SSL option is used to view the SSL certificate in readable format.

NOTE:

The way to use command lines below will generate certificate.pem and

key.pem.

1. openssl genrsa -out key.pem 1024

2. openssl req -new -key key.pem -out request.pem

3. openssl x509 -req -days 30 -in request.pem -signkey key.pem -out certificate.pem
