Option	Description
SSL/TLS Server Certificate
Status:	The Status field indicates whether a server certificate is installed. (To
	display the status in the control console, choose Web/SSL/TLS, then
	Advanced SSL/TLS Configuration.)
	• Not installed: No certificate is installed on the Rack PDU.

NOTE: If you install a certificate by using FTP or SCP, you must specify the correct location (/sec) on the Rack PDU.

•Generating: The Rack PDU is generating a certificate because no valid certificate was installed.

•Loading: A certificate is being loaded (activated on the Rack PDU).

•Valid: A valid certificate was installed to or generated by the Rack PDU. (If you install an invalid certificate, the Rack PDU discards it and generates a valid one. However, a certificate that the Rack PDU generates has some limitations. See Method 1: Use the auto- generated default certificate.)

Filename:	You can create a server certificate with the APC Security Wizard and
	then upload it to the Rack PDU by using the Web interface. Use the
	Browse button for the Filename field to locate the file, then click
	Apply. By default, the certificate is installed to the correct location.
	Alternatively, you can use FTP or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer the
	server certificate to the Rack PDU. However, you must specify the
	correct location (/sec) on the Rack PDU.
	NOTE: Creating and uploading a server certificate in advance reduces
	the time required to enable HTTPS (SSL/TLS). If no server certificate
	is loaded when you enable HTTPS (SSL/TLS), the Rack PDU creates
	one when it reboots. The Rack PDU can take up to 5 minutes to
	create this certificate, and the SSL/TLS server is not available
	during that time.
