Uploading a Server Certificate

Before You Begin

You must log in as a user with admin privileges to upload a certificate.

The certificate to be uploaded must be available as readable text. During the upload procedure, you will copy the certificate text and paste it into the CLI.

Note You must first generate a CSR using the CIMC certificate management CSR generation procedure, and you must use that CSR to obtain the certificate for uploading. Do not upload a certificate that was not obtained by this method.

Note All current HTTPS and SSH sessions are disconnected when the new server certificate is uploaded.

Procedure

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	Server# scope certificate	Enters the certificate command mode.
Step 2	Server /certificate # upload	Launches a dialog for entering and uploading the
		new server certificate.

Copy the certificate text, paste it into the console when prompted, and type CTRL+D to upload the certificate.
