170 Using the CMC Web Interface
Why are the remote RACADM
and Web-based services
unavailable after a property
change?
It may take a minute for the remote RACADM
services and the Web interface to become available
after the CMC Web server resets.
The CMC Web server is reset after the following
occurrences:
• When changing the network configuration or
network security properties using the CMC Web
user interface
•When the
cfgRacTuneHttpsPort property is
changed (including when a config
- f < config
file
> changes it)
•When
racresetcfg is used
• When the CMC is reset
• When a new SSL server certificate is uploaded
Why doesn’t my DNS server
register my CMC?
Some DNS servers only register names of 31
characters or fewer.
When accessing the CMC Web
interface, I get a security warning
stating the SSL certificate was
issued by a certificate authority
that is not trusted.
CMC includes a default CMC server certificate to
ensure network security for the Web interface and
remote RACADM features. This certificate is not
issued by a trusted certificate authority. To address
this security concern, upload a CMC server
certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority
(such as Thawte or Verisign). For more
information about issuing certificates, see
"Securing CMC Communications Using SSL and
Digital Certificates" on page 132.
