1. Certifi cate:
Click on this function key to activate its submenu and confi gure the
following Certifi cate settings as listed below.
2. Certifi cate Signing Request (CSR):
This window allows you to defi ne the
Certifi cate Signing Request (CSR) form. The IPMI uses the Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) protocol for encrypted network traffi c between itself and the remote host
servers. When a connection is made, the IPMI has to expose its identity to a remote
host by using a cryptographic certifi cate.
To create a certifi cate that is unique to a particular IPMI card or SIMLP card, a cer-
tifi cation authority (CA) needs to fi ll out the CSR form indicated in the CSR window
above and click "Create" to generate it.
