NOTE: To upload a Web server key and server certificate, you must have Chassis Configuration Administrator

privileges.

Uploading Webserver Key and Certificate Using CMC Web Interface

To upload a webserver key and certificate using the CMC Web interface:

1.

In the system tree, go to Chassis Overview and click Network → SSL. The SSL Main Menu is displayed.

2.

Select Upload Web Key and Certificate option and click Next.

3.

Specify the Private Key File and the Certificate File by clicking Choose File.

4.

After both the files are uploaded, click Apply. If the Web server key and certificate do not match, an error message

is displayed.

NOTE: Only X509, Base-64 encoded certificates are accepted by CMC. Certificates using other encoding
schemes such as DER, are not accepted. Uploading a new certificate replaces the default certificate you
received with your CMC.

CMC resets and becomes temporarily unavailable after the certificate has been uploaded successfully. To avoid
disconnecting other users during a reset, notify authorized users who might log into CMC and check for active
sessions in the Sessions page under the Network tab.

Configuring Multiple CMCs Using RACADM

Using RACADM, you can configure one or more CMCs with identical properties.
When you query a specific CMC card using its group ID and object ID, RACADM creates the racadm.cfg configuration
file from the retrieved information. By exporting the file to one or more CMCs, you can configure your controllers with
identical properties in a minimal amount of time.
