Switched Rack PDU
USER’S GUIDE
®
The information for every certificate must be unique. The configuration of a server certificate cannot be the same as the configuration of the CA root certificate. (The expiration date is not considered part of the unique configuration; some other configuration information must also differ.)
7.The last screen verifies that the certificate has been created and instructs you on the next task, to load the server certificate to the Switched Rack PDU. It displays the location and name of the Server Certificate, which has a .p15 file extension and contains the Rack PDU private key and public root certificate.
Load the server certificate to the Rack PDU. Perform these steps:
1.On the Network menu of the Web interface of the Switched Rack PDU, select the Web/SSL option.
2.In the SSL/TLS Server Certificate section of the page, browse to the server certificate, the .p15 file you created in the procedure Create a Root Certificate & Server Certificates. (The default is C:\Program Files\American Power Conversion\APC Security Wizard.)
Alternatively, you can use FTP or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer the server certificate to the Rack PDU. If you use FTP or SCP for the transfer, you must specify the correct location, \sec, on the Rack PDU. For SCP, the command to transfer a certificate named cert.p15 to a Rack PDU with an IP address of 156.205.6.185 would be:
scp cert.p15 apc@156.205.6.185:\sec\cert.p15
