Hardware Management Console (HMC) Case Configuration Study for LPAR Management 43
For our example, we perform the following actions:
– Enter an organization name: ITSO.
– Verify the certificate expiration date is set to a future date.
– Click the OK button, and a password is requested at the end of the
process. The password is used each time you perform operations on the
Certification Authority Server.
The next step is to generate the authentication keys for the WebSM clients
and servers:
– Private keys will be installed on the HMCs.
– Public keys will be installed on WebSM remote clients.
From the main panel HMC, select System Manager Security, select Certificate
Authority, and then in the right window, Generate Servers Private Key Ring
Files. Enter the password set in the previous step. A new menu is displayed for
defining options as shown in Figure28.
