Importing trusted certificates

If you have selected Require on the Trusted System Certificates page, you must import certificates that

represent the

managed systems

you want to trust to the Trusted Certificates List. You can import the

certificate

of the system itself on a per-system basis. You can also import the signing certificate of the

or intermediate

CA used to sign and issue certificates for groups of systems, which simplifies the maintenance of this list.

NOTE: Only users with

administrative rights

can import certificates into the HP SIM Trusted System Certificates

List.

NOTE: HP SIM supports only importing certificates that have public key sizes of 2,048 bits or less.

To import certificates into the Trusted System Certificates List:

1. Select Options→Security→Credentials→Trusted Systems, and then click Import. The Import

Trusted System Certificate section appears.

2. Next to the Certificate filename field, click Browse.

The Choose file dialog box appears.

3. Navigate to the location of the certificate to be imported, and then select the file name. Click Open.
