Create an SSL Server User Certificate. Perform these steps. (Click Next to move from screen to screen.)
1.On the Windows Start menu, select Programs, then APC Security Wizard, to start the Wizard program.
2.On the screen labeled Step 1, select SSL Server Certificate as the type of file to create.
3.Enter a name for the file that will contain the server certificate and the private key. The file name must have a .p15 extension. By default, the file will be created in the installation folder C:\Program Files\American Power Conversion\APC Security Wizard.
4.Click the Browse button, and select the CA root certificate created in the procedure Create a Root Certificate & Server Certificates. The CA Root Certificate is used to sign the Server User Certificate being generated.
5.On the screen labeled Step 2, provide the information to configure the server certificate. The Country and Common Name fields are required; the other fields are optional. For the Common Name field, enter the IP address or DNS name of the server (Switched Rack PDU). Because the configuration information is part of the signature, it cannot be exactly the same as the information you provided when creating the CA root certificate; the information you provide in some of the fields must be different.
By default, a server certificate is valid for 10 years from the current date and time, but you can edit the Validity Period Start and Validity Period End fields.
6.On the next screen, review the summary of the certificate. Scroll downward to view the certificate’s unique serial number and fingerprints. To make any changes to the information you provided, click Back, and revise the information.
