Creating An Ssl Security Certificate - HP AK241A - StorageWorks 8Gb Simple SAN Connection Cli Manual

Creating an SSL security certificate

Enabling SSL automatically creates a security certificate on the switch. The security certificate is required to
establish an SSL connection with a management application such as Simple SAN Connection Manager or
QuickTools. The certificate is valid 24 hours before the certificate creation date and expires 365 days after
the creation date. Should the original certificate become invalid, enter the create certificate
command to create a new one, as shown in the following example:
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> create certificate
The current date and time is day mon date hh:mm:ss UTC yyyy.
This is the time used to stamp onto the certificate.
Is the date and time correct? (y/n): [n] y
Certificate generation successful.
To ensure that the security certificate will be valid, be sure that the switch and the workstation date and
time are the same. See "Managing the date and
8/20q Fibre Channel Switch command line interface guide
time" on page 51.
