14.2. Creating a Signed Certificate
To create a Signed certificate, and eliminate the warning message, first set up your
domain name server to recognize the Common Name (item 5) that you will assign to
the unit. Next, complete steps one through five as described in Section 14.1 and then
proceed as follows:
1. Capture the Newly Created Certificate: Type
13 and press [Enter]
(View CSR). The Outlet Managed PDU will prompt you to configure your
communications (Telnet) program to receive the certificate. Set up your
communications program to receive a binary file, and then press [Enter] to
capture the file and save it. This is the Code Signing Request that you will
send to the outside security service (e.g., VeriSign, Thawte, etc.) in order to
have them sign and activate the certificate.
2. Obtain the Signed Certificate: Send the captured certificate to the outside
security service. Refer to the security service's web page for further
instructions.
3. Upload the Signed Certificate to the Outlet Managed PDU: After the
"signed" certificate is returned from the security service, return to the Web
Access menu.
a) Access the Outlet Managed PDU command mode via the Text Interface
using an account that permits Administrator level commands as
described previously, then type
/N and press [Enter] to display the
Network Parameters menu, and then type
23 and press [Enter] to
display the Web Access menu.
b) From the Web Access menu, type
14 and press [Enter] (Import CRT) to
begin the upload process. At the CRT Server Key submenu, type
1 and
press [Enter] to choose "Upload Server Key."
c) Use your communications program to send the binary format Signed
Certificate to the Outlet Managed PDU. When the upload is complete,
press [Escape] to exit from the CRT Server Key submenu.
d) After you exit from the CRT Server Key submenu, press [Escape]
several times until you have exited from the Network Parameters menu
and the "Saving Configuration" message is displayed.
