1. Certificate:
Click on this function key to activate its submenu and configure the
following Certificate settings as listed below.
2. Certificate Signing Request (CSR):
This window allows you to define the Cer-
tificate Signing Request (CSR) form. The IPMI uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
protocol for encrypted network traffic between itself and the remote host servers.
When a connection is made, the IPMI has to expose its identity to a remote host by
using a cryptographic certificate.
To create a certificate that is unique to a particular IPMI card or SIMLC/SIMLC+ card,
a certification authority (CA) needs to fill out the CSR form indicated in the CSR win-
dow above and click "Create" to generate it.
