4.  After the configuration has been saved, test the signed certificate by accessing 
the Outlet Managed PDU via the Web Browser Interface, using an HTTPS 
connection.  For example, if the common name has been defined as "service.
companyname111.com", then you would enter "
https://service.
companyname111.com" in your web browser's address field.  If the 
Signed Certificate has been properly created and uploaded, the warning 
message should no longer be displayed.

on your hard drive.
b)  To upload a previously saved Server Private Key to the Outlet Managed 
PDU, make certain that SSL parameters have been defined as described 
in Section 14.1, then type 
16 and press [Enter] and follow the 
instructions in the resulting submenu.
