5. On the screen labeled Step 2 , provide the information to configure the server
certificate. Country and Common Name are the only required fields. For the
Common Name field, enter the IP address or DNS name of the server (the
Rack PDU). By default, a server certificate is valid for 10 years but you can edit
the
Validity Period Start and Validity Period End fields.
6. On the next screen, review the summary of the certificate. Scroll downward to
view the certificate’s unique serial number and fingerprints. To make any
changes to the information you provided, click
Back . Revise the information.
7. The last screen verifies that the certificate has been created and instructs you
to load the server certificate to the Rack PDU. It displays the location and name
of the Server Certificate, which has a
.p15 file suffix and contains the private
key and public root certificate of the Rack PDU.
Load the server certificate to the Rack PDU.
1. On the Administration tab, select Network on the top menu bar and ssl
certificate under the Web heading on the left navigation menu.
2. Select Add or Replace Certificate File , and browse to the server certificate,
the .p15 file you created in the procedure Create a Root Certificate and Server
Certificates . (The default location is C:\Program Files\Dell\Rack PDU
Security Wizard .)
Because the configuration information is part of the signature, the
information for every certificate must be unique. The configuration of a
server certificate cannot be the same as the configuration of the CA root
certificate. (The expiration date is not considered part of the unique
configuration. Some other configuration information must also differ.)
You can use FTP or Secure CoPy (SCP) instead to transfer the server
certificate. For SCP, the command to transfer a certificate named
cert.p15 to
a Rack PDU with an IP address of 156.205.6.185 would be:
scp cert.p15 [email protected]
