Create a Server Certificate and Signing Request

Summary

Use this procedure if your company or agency has its own Certificate
Authority or if you plan to use a commercial Certificate Authority to
sign your server certificates.

• Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).The CSR contains all the

information for a server certificate except the digital signature. This
process creates two output files:

– The file with the

.p15

extension contains the Network Management

Card’s private key.

– The file with the

.csr

extension contains the certificate signing

request, which you send to an external Certificate Authority.

• When you receive the signed certificate from the Certificate Authority,

import that certificate. Importing the certificate combines the

.p15

file

containing the private key and the file containing the signed certificate
from the external Certificate Authority. The output file is a new
encrypted server certificate file with a

.p15

extension.

• Load the server certificate onto the Network Management Card.

• For each Network Management Card that requires a server certificate,

repeat the tasks that create and load the server certificate.
