Security.
Select Local Server Certificate.
Optionally, you can replace the default values in the Organization and/or Organizational Unit fields with your own values up to a maximum of 64 characters..
Click [Create PKCS #10 Data].
A screen appears indicating that the PKCS #10 Certificate Request data has been successfully generated and stored in c:\hp\sslshare\req_cr.pem for Windows or /opt/hp/sslshare/req_cr.pem for Linux.
Copy the certificate data.
Send PKCS #10 certificate request data to a Certificate Authority and ask them to send you the certificate request reply data in the form of PKCS #7 format. Request that the reply data be in base64 encoded format. If your organization has its own PKI/Certificate Server implemented, send the PKCS#10 data to the Certificate Authority manager and request the PKCS#7 reply data.
Note: A third party certificate signer generally charges a fee.
When the certificate signer sends the PKCS#7 encoded certificate request reply data to you, copy the data from the PKCS#7 certificate request reply and paste the copied data in the PKCS #7 Data field. In this case, skip the next step.
Click [Import PKCS #7 Data].
A message appears indicating whether or not the customer generated certificate was successfully imported.
Stop the System Management Homepage.
Restart the System Management Homepage.
Browse to the managed system that contains the imported certificate.
Select to view the certificate when prompted by the browser. Be sure the signer is listed as the signer you used, and not HP, before importing the certificate into your browser. Alternatively, you can import the root CA certificate into all the browsers on your network to avoid being prompted.
Note: If the certificate signer of your choice sends you a certificate file in base64 encoded form instead of PKCS #7 data, copy the base64 encoded certificate file to the filename /hp/sslshare/cert.pem and restart the System Management Homepage.
