HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

1. Select OptionsSecurityCertificatesServer Certificates, and then click Edit. The Edit Server
Certificate section appears.
2. Edit the following fields as necessary:
Note: The Common Name (CN) field and the key pair cannot be modified, so the trust relationships
with any System Management Homepages remain in tact. However, the browser trust must be
re-established by importing the modified certificate and deleting the old certificate from the browser.
a. (Optional) In the Alternative Names field, enter multiple system names separated by a comma.
If a name identical to the CN is specified in the Alternative Names field, it is not duplicated in
the certificate.
Alternative names are case-sensitive. Therefore, if a duplicate case-sensitive name is entered, they
are not duplicated in the certificate. For example, if SYS1, sys1, and SYS1 are entered, SYS1 is
only listed once in the certificate.
The alternative names might be displayed in a different order from the order you enter them.
However, this does not affect their usage.
b. In the Organization (O) field, enter the name of your organization. This field can contain up to
64 characters.
c. In the Organizational Unit (OU) field, enter the name of your department. This field can contain
up to 64 characters.
d. In the Locality (L) field, enter the name of your city. This field can contain up to 128 characters.
e. In the State (S) field, enter the name of your state. This field can contain up to 128 characters.
f. In the Country (C) field, enter the name of your country. This field can contain up to two
alphanumeric characters, using the two-letter country codes.
3. Click OK. A warning message appears, indicating that the certificate is about to be modified. You can
click Cancel to abort the modify operation.
