Obtaining and importing an SSL certificate
iLO allows you to create a Certificate Signing Request that you can send to a Certificate Authority
to obtain a trusted SSL certificate to import into iLO.
An SSL certificate works only with the keys generated with its corresponding CSR. If iLO is reset
to the factory default settings, or another CSR is generated before the certificate that corresponds
to the previous CSR is imported, the certificate does not work. In that case, a new CSR must be
generated and used to obtain a new certificate from a CA.
