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.
Note: SHA1 and RSA 2048 bit SSL supported.
To create a certificate that is unique to a particular IPMI card or SIMLP card, a cer-
tification authority (CA) needs to fill out the CSR form indicated in the CSR window
above and click "Create" to generate it.
