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.

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 Battery Management System. It displays the location and name of the Server Certificate, which has a .p15 file extension and contains the Management Card private key and public root certificate.

Load the server certificate to the Management Card on the Battery Management System master controller. Perform these steps:

1.On the Network menu of the Web interface of the Battery Management System, 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.)
