Uploading Webserver Key and Certificate

You can upload a Web server key and a server certificate for the Web server key. The server certificate is issued by the Certificate

Authority (CA).

The Web server certificate is an essential component used by the SSL encryption process. It authenticates itself to an SSL-enabled

client, and allows the client to authenticate itself to the server, thereby enabling both the systems to establish an encrypted

connection.

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

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.
