Managing the Server Certificate
You can generate a certificate signing request (CSR) to obtain a new certificate, and you can upload the new
certificate to the CIMC to replace the current server certificate. The server certificate may be signed either
by a public Certificate Authority (CA), such as Verisign, or by your own certificate authority.
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Generate the CSR from the CIMC.

the CSR file to generate a self-signed certificate.
The uploaded certificate must
be created from a CSR
generated by the CIMC. Do
not upload a certificate that
was not created by this
method.
