Blue Coat Systems SGOS Version 5.2.2 manual Director Registration Requirements

Volume 9: Managing the Blue Coat SG Appliance

Note: The Blue Coat appliance certificate is an X.509 certificate that contains the hardware serial number of a specific SG device as the Common Name (CN) in the subject field. Refer to the device authentication information in Volume 5: Advanced Networking for more information about appliance certificates.

Director Registration Requirements

To register the appliance with Director, the SSH-Console service must be enabled. Director registration will fail if the ssh-console has been disabled or deleted, or if the SSHv2 host key has been removed.

Registering the SG Appliance with Director

Though usually initiated at startup (with the serial console setup), you can also configure Director registration from the Management Console, as described in the following procedure.

To register the appliance with a Director:

1.Select Maintenance > Director Registration.

2.In the Director IP address field, enter the Director IP address.

3.In the Director serial number field, enter the Director serial number or click Retrieve S/N from Director. If you retrieve the serial number from the Director, verify that the serial number matches the one specified for your Director.

4.Optional—In the Appliance name field, enter the SG appliance name.

5.If your appliance does not have an appliance certificate, enter the Director shared secret in the Registration password field.

Note: Refer to the Blue Coat Director Configuration and Management Guide for more information about configuring the shared secret. For information about appliance certificates, refer to Volume 5: Advanced Networking.

6.Click Register.
