By default, iLO 2 creates a self-signed certificate for use in SSL connections. This certificate enables iLO 2to work without any additional configuration steps. The security features of the iLO 2 can be enhanced byimporting a trusted certificate. For more information on certificates and certificate services, see"Introduction to certificate services (on page 106)" and "Installing certificate services (on page 106)."The SSL Certificate tab displays the following information:• The Issued To field lists the entity to which the certificate was issued.• The Issued By field lists the CA that issued the certificate.• The Valid From field displays the date from which the certificate is valid.• The Valid Until field displays the date that the certificate will expire.• The Serial Number field lists the serial number assigned to the certificate by the CA.The following buttons are available on the SSL Certificate tab:• Create Certificate Request—When you click this button a CR (in PKCS #10 format) is created that,can be sent to a CA. This certificate request is Base64 encoded. A CA processes this request andreturns a response (X.509 certificate) that can be imported into iLO 2.The CR contains a public/private key pair that is used for validation of communications between theclient browser and iLO 2. The generated CR is held in memory until a new CR is generated, acertificate is imported by this process, or the iLO 2 is reset. For this reason, you can generate the CRand copy it to the client clipboard, leave the iLO 2 website to retrieve the certificate, and then returnto import the certificate.When submitting the request to the CA, be sure to perform the following tasks:• Use the iLO 2 name as listed on the System Status screen as the URL for the server.• Request the certificate be generated in the RAW format.• Include the Begin and End certificate lines.Every time you click Create Certificate Request, a new certificate request is generated, even thoughthe iLO 2 name is the same.Configuring iLO 2 37
