Valid Certificate . Click the link to display the parameters of the certificate.
Creating and uploading a server certificate in advance reduces the time
required to enable HTTPS. If you enable HTTPS with no server certificate
loaded, the Rack PDU creates one when it reboots.
The Rack PDU can
take up to 1 minute to create the certificate, and the SSL server is
unavailable during that time.
A certificate that the Rack PDU generates has some limitations. See
Method 1: Use the default certificate auto-generated by the Rack PDU .
Parameter Description
Issued To: Common Name (CN) : The IP Address or DNS name of the Rack PDU. This
field controls how you must log on to the Web interface.
• If an IP address was specified for this field when the certificate was
created, use an IP address to log on.
• If the DNS name was specified for this field when the certificate was
created, use the DNS name to log on.
If you do not use the IP address or DNS name that was specified for the
certificate, authentication fails, and you receive an error message asking if
you want to continue.
For a server certificate generated by default by the Rack PDU, this field
displays the serial number of the Rack PDU instead.
Organization (O) , Organizational Unit (OU ), and Locality, Country: The
name, organizational unit, and location of the organization using the server
certificate. For a server certificate generated by default by the Rack PDU,
the
Organizational Unit (OU) field displays “Internally Generated
Certificate.”
