CiscoWorks allows you to create security certificate used to enable SSL
communication between your client browser and management server.
Self signed certificates are valid for five years from the date of creation. When the
certificate expires, the browser prompts you to install the certificate again from
the server where you have installed CiscoWorks.
If you re-generate the certificate, when you are in multi-server mode, any existing
peer relation might break. The peers need to re-import the certificate in this
scenario.
To create a certificate:
In the CiscoWorks Homepage, select Common Services > Server > Security >
Certificate Setup.
The Certificate page appears.
Enter the values required for the fields described in the following table:
Field
Country Name
State or Province
